We started off the day walking towards the St. Charles bridge. We got to the entrance, walked through the arch and over the bridge. It's a bridge that got us across to the other side of the river. That's it. Apparently it's livelier during the summer with bands and artists, but at this time of year, it was pretty much dead. Just people walking across.
With empty stomachs we looked for a place to eat. We walked a few blocks looking to find a cool Czech place to eat, but there was nothing in site. We ended up finding a McDonalds and being hungry, we went in. I had a McRoyal with Jalapenos and Garth had a McRoyal with cheese. The meal came with the typical burger, fries, and drink, but it also came with a blueberry muffin. You don't see that it the states.
After our authentic Czech lunch we continued walking towards the Castle and about a block down, of course, we found plenty of small Czech restaurants. DOH! Oh well, maybe we'll walk down that way sometime tomorrow.
So we continued towards the castle. The town is very pedestrian friendly. There are more cobble stone walkways than there are roads for cars which makes getting around easy.
At the castle we took time to admire the architecture and the great views overlooking the city. Here's a picture from the top.
After the castle we headed back towards Old Town Square where we got ourselves lost looking for a cell phone shop. We found a Vodafone at the mall and I bought a $10 SIM card for my phone so at least we'd have some sort way to call and make reservations. The mall was huge. It was called the 200 shops mall. Five levels of shops. I'm definitely going back there later to do some shopping.
We're back at the hotel now looking for a sports bar we can watch the Eagles an Cardinals. We passed up a few pubs along the way so we're gonna check those out.
That's it for now.
