Bohemia - Prague

Going to bohemia is like stepping back to the middle ages. Some places, like the Old Town Markets, have an atmosphere that has you checking what year it is on the calendar. The markets are smoky from all the wood-burning used to roasts pigs on spits that are everywhere, while other stalls sell grilled cheese and still others; Burcak; a half-fermented wine. I loved Burcak, it probably tastes better than fully fermented wine or unfermented grape juice, and it’s pulpy. I’ve never seen the like of these markets before, and likely never will again except perhaps at some medieval fair.

There are lovely cafes on Tyn Road, where Vicki and I spent hours admiring the cafe we were sitting in before getting on to more serious matters, like what sort of cafe we would like to open. There are beautiful royal gardens near the castle, as well as a formidable church.
