2017 trip Krakow, Prague and Cesky Krumlov: Day 9: 8th August

I woke up quite late like at 9 30 because I needed some rest because of the previous night, at the time I woke up my room partner Sam from the US was packing his stuff to go to Budapest.

I had a shower and I just went outside without having breakfast.

I headed to Petrin Tower which was in a hill in Mala Strava area, before going there I went to the narrowest street of Prague but it was closed , it was 10 15 and it was opened from 11 30 so I decided first to go to Petrin tower, it was a long tiring journey uphill.

I arrived at the top of the hill at around 11 AM and went straight to climb the tower and take some pictures, the entrance cost me 150 czech crowns, but the views were worth.

Some shots of and from Petrin tower

Once I finished visitng the tower I went to the mirror maze which was next to it, 90 Czech Crowns, not really cool place because it was a very fast visit but it was ok to take some funny and weird pictures.

Once finished all the stuff I went back to the narrowest street to take a picture, I arrived around 12 15 PM.

Finally it was open!!!

After that I came back to the hostel through the Jewish quarter and came across a statue of Kafka.

Then I reached the hostel, had lunch in the vegetarian and went to rest for a while because I was tired.

After resting for a while I went to Namesti Republikyi area and I bought a pair of sneakers and something to drink in the Palladium mall. Then I headed back to hostel to pack the lugagge again.

Once done, I went to Namesti Miru station from Starometska to see the deepest station and longest escalator in Europe (53 m). A bit freak but was fun haha

From Namesti Miru I went backwards with subway to Museum station and went down all the boulevard of Wenceslao Square and turned right to Na Prikope avenue and found a place where you could buy a brick and paint it, all the money they got was for humanitarian benefits, I took one for 180 czech crowns and painted the Catalonia flag and placed the brick somewhere in the wall.

It was nearly 7 PM so I decided to go dinner in a restaurant called Lokal close to my hostel. It was so crowded. I ordered fried cheese Smažený sýr with tartar sauce and boiled potatos on the side, beer and a dessert made with cream for 300 czech corona, very very cheap and tasty, specially the cheese was delicious.

After dinner I went back to hostel to pick my tripod and I went to shoot pictures at Charles Bridge, specially blue hour and the tower of Charles Bridge at night.
