Prague - part 2

We spent our second day in Prague with our friends, Ondrej and Katrina, who live near Prague and grew up in the area. They took us to a town about an hour away, to see a chapel made of all bones!!  It was fascinating and was not as creepy as you might expect. Then we ate at an incredible restaurant, and finally went to their father's zoo in dark.

The restaurant served duck, veal cheeks, lamb sausages and free-range, grass-fed chicken. Dishes were between $12-$15 each, and dinner, plus Czech wine, plus rosemary bread and fried chickpeas, with aperitifs and all other fancy dinner formalities. And the total bill was only $20 per person.  I'd eat here again :)

They also took us to their zoo at night. We played with the goats, fed the porcupine and the llamas, and enjoyed the meercats, monkeys, gigantic catfish and carp, pheasants, Hedwig-type owls, and a small white kangaroo. We also saw gerbils and monster gerbils - larger than the size of a cat! Never had I ever been in a zoo after dark before. It was awesome.

And the other three pictures are from the John Lennon free speech wall and then a random memorial to Mozart.

Farewell, Prague!
