Yep. You guessed it! Some things just stand alone…the restaurant, the church, and the CASTLE 😱! Visible from pretty much every point in Prague, I was grateful to be able to see it up close! In my last exchange with my server, I asked how best to get there. He suggested a slowly winding, uphill road to get to the top, and the shorter-but-plentiful stairs route to descend. I was grateful for his advice, because it allowed for several places to stop and take pictures of the city below! As well as for a cup of EUROPEAN COCOA for dessert!
If you recall my Christmas blogs from Poland, you’ll remember that the cocoa in Europe could be eaten with a spoon if one chose to do so 😂😂.
A fun exchange in the coco stop… the gentleman behind the counter, asked if I’d like it with rum. I said, “Of course! I’ve got a long road ahead of me,” to which we both shared a laugh.😂😂😂.
When he handed me the cup of cocoa laced with Dominican rum, which he said was the best, I said, “Proseem!” (my pronunciation spelling for memory’s sake😂). (And ‘thank you’ in Czech 😊).
“ You speak Czech!” he exclaimed .
I smiled. “Just that one word. And two others.”
“ Where are you from?” he continued.
To avoid the ‘Yellowstone’ comment this time, I simply said ‘the United States’. I then asked, “Where are you from?”
He replied, “India.”
“Oh!” said I. “ Then NAMASTE!”
His eyes grew large and he said you speak SANSKRIT?!”😂😂😂😂
I shook my head and said, “That’s my ONLY word! “
We both had a jolly chuckle over that, as I went on my way, rum-laced coco in hand, up the steep hill to the top where I would find the castle. 💕
