Sat 16 Aug- after the breakfast buffet, Kiyomi started work on her report for the Japan e-Learning Consortium, and Stan started reading 'Vector' by Robin Cook while enjoying music on the iPod. It's another rainy day in Prague, so we have a good excuse to stay inside and work/relax. This will be a relaxing week of catching up on planning for the rest of our trip, unwinding from the river cruise, and enjoying the ambience of this very comfortable hotel and quiet old neighborhood.
Lunch at the hotel restaurant is not really cheap at about CZK 700 for the both of us ($42), but it's fairly priced for the service, quality, quantity and ambience, overlooking Prague and the Castle/St. Vitus Cathedral, and is also very convenient. So we decided to go through the menu, starting with the Czech Traditional meals, then the pastas. We'll also each have a 0.31 liter draft Pilsner Urquell, and split the entree and a Nicoise or Caesar salad between us. Since breakfast is included, we'll eat later, around 2 pm, and then have a very light supper of a draft beer and fruit or chocolate. We've already had Roasted Bohemian Duck; then broccoli soup and Prague goulash in a bread loaf; then today it's Prague Goulash (like beef stew).
