PraHahahaha

 We made it to Prague. Ass-crack of dawn & all.

After easily finding the place to dump our bags at train station (Hlavni nadrazi in Czech, which we are learning) we walked abt 5 miles doing this:

• Lunch was from those small huts outside the train station -- haute cuisine. 
• The Jerusalem Synagogue (see pics here) was right on our path to wherever. It was spectacula ; reminds  how tough they had it there w Nazis, then Stalinists. Synagogue survived WW2 bc it was warehouse for Jewish confiscations 
• Then Henry's Tower, 1 of 120 towers in Prague. Paid to go to 10th story, great pics. 
• Then coffee & a box of 10 assorted macaroons from a street fair booth. Note how many are left (& then there were none)
• The highlight of the day was the Mucha Museum. I took a photo of the entry ticket since you wrest supposed to take them inside. 
  
  Seems Sarah Bernhart made him famous in 1894. His stuff is quite good. 
     Then back to the train station to get bags. It took a few mins to find taxi stand; EH later read never do this 90% of the time you'll get screwed. Like this time. I paid 20€ for what KH timed as 6 mins. Oh well. 
     The apartment. KH booked the 2 long stays. The flat in Berlin was good. The codes to get in worked. But we're missing a 2nd bedroom (their are bunks for EH in the one). & it's not "within 400 yards" of anything significant. KH called but was told there were only 1 bedrooms here. ☹️
  
  
    Dinner. This place, Kuchyň (kitchen in Czech) was on a top ten in town list (& we could get in). As you can see, the views of city are spectacular. 😃 their thing is they take you to the stove, open the pots (like you're in someone's kitchen) & you get to pick your dinner from that! No menu! Here's us doing it:
  EH & I had the goulash (when in Central Europe, do as...) & KH had peppercorn beef. We had both bread AND potato dumplings (again, central  Europe). It was v good.
  One dogfight was me writhing on my Czech. I tried to say "thank you"to our waiter. She ignored me. EH tried to use the internets to see how to pronounce dekuju. Finally, we made friend w the couple next to us at the table (all Czechs love NHL) d asked how to say it. He did & we laughed. There were no u's in his version! I told him how I said it & they laughed & laughed, but said "maybe it'll catch on". 
  & For the title: that's the check word for this city. Isn't it funny?! Hahahahaha
