On my first full day in Prague, I made sure to wake up bright in early, despite the jet lag and different time zone. I had a packed itinerary, as I planned meticulously (see also: psychotically) in advance. There was so much to see, and I didn’t want to miss any of it!
Imagine turning the corner and happening upon this! This is the Powder Tower, the entrance by which Czech kings entered Old Town; it’s one of the most significant monuments of Late Gothic Prague (completed in 1475!) My jaw literally dropped.
This is the French Breakfast at Cafe’ Savoy. One of my best friends had recommended going there during my stay, and oh, how I am glad she did! Embarrassingly enough, this entire spread was all for me! The meal included scrambled eggs in a croissant, grilled pork sausages, mustard, potatoes, pickled vegetables, lettuce, French toast, freshly-squeezed orange juice, and café au lait. (This was before I went back to vegetarian lifestyle, of course). As if that wasn’t enough food, I had to try a little cream puff straight from their on-site patisserie. It was the loveliest atmosphere- perfect for a rainy morning. The walk there was magic, too.
Frescos
I kept ending up in front of this hotel, somehow! I’m convinced it was following me. Luckily, it wasn’t so bad to look at!
