Next: Royal Palace @ Prague Castle
Yesterday we had missed to visit the Royal Palace, so today we again hike up to the castle hill and go for the Royal Palace ~ Here I come!!
Fighting giant statues atop Prague Castle's main entrance gate
We were the first on the queue yeah so happy~!
But once we walked in to the Royal Palace, we knew we were "stupid" for yesterday!!!
The Riding Hall at Royal Palace ~ Vladislav Hall
Old Diet ~ The former court where the king would meet with the high representatives of the church on one side and the nobility on the other
Royal palace its an exhibition hall...how could we ever think of Mr. Italy will have his meeting here??
Haih...yesterday din visit today again hike up the slope just for the 10 minutes sightseeing...~~ tiring!
Luckily we are after all refresh with the nice scenery while all the way down...
St. Wenceslas Vineyard on east side of the castle offering splendid view of the Prague town
Next: Wesceslas Square
we are taking metro to Wenceslas Square ~~ likes the tunnel so much...very high-tech looking
Wenceslas Square ~ the famous "square" in the city
It began life in the 14th century as Prague's horse market but has since evolved into the commercial heart of the city and also the symbolic center of the nation's con-science.
Status of St. Wenceslas ~ a former Bohemian prince
with National Museum in the background
Next: Zizkov TV Tower
Prague's multistory TV tower is arguably the ugliest building ever built in the Golden city.
the sculptures of babies crawling up and down
Miminka Babies by local jokester-artist ~ David Cerny

120 czech koruna ~ approximately RM20
Next: Dancing House
One of the strangest building in the world ~ The Dancing House
sneak peak upskirt....ops
no underwear found ~!! hehe
Design by Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunic in co-operation with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry ironically pays tribute to the most classic film dancing pairs: Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Originally named Fred and Ginger but some people called it the 'Drunk House'
Currently house a Dutch insurance company and a French restaurant at the roof top.
After the modern building, now back to the historical site.
Powder Tower
one of the last standing remnants of the Old Town's original fortification system
use to hold gunpowder for defending the city
the late-Gothic Powder Tower
can chamber up to the top for a view, but better we save our strength
we still not having our lunch yet....getting so hungry and now we head to the old town square again
we were missing so much of the roast pork....the smells follow us since last night
today we must eat it no matter how!!!
ok..we dunno how to read their menu..luckily they speak english...then they explained to us....what's on the menu
finally now we place order..hubby said: "Gimme everything!"
yum yum...guai lou roast pork..
no crispy skin...it taste more like the 'nam yu' pork
don't get conned by the outlook of the pork sausage
its looks burnt but actually its damn nice with so juicy at the inside
especially when you bite it than cutting it into small piece and chew
and the fried potato with ham
so delicious...~! enjoy enjoy!!! have to eat faster else it get cold again

Next: Petrin Tower
Heading to the Petrin Tower, which its not in our initial plan to visit it...but we have quite plenty of time before the next scheduled activity...
Petrin Tower is just a tram stop away from our hotel...we have to cross the Charles Bridge again
from the Old Town Square and back to Mala Strana
touching again for more luck!
the weather today is so nice~!!
a lot of small stalls on the bridge is open for business
and we found this special creative handmade fridge magnet~~

it should be very nice if we come here at night....
and the TV Tower we went this early morning
the wind up there is so strong....if you are the dare devil you may take the staircase down..
Next: Dinner and next The Puppet Show!
After the tower, we have to go for dinner and catch up the Puppet Show next!
We went to the Restaurant Radnicni sklipek. This restaurant is highly recommended by most of the forumer @ Tripadvisor. They are famous with roasted pork ribs and roasted pork knee with excellent quality but reasonable priced~!!
Too bad we walked out the restaurant disappointedly. Its not the matter of the food, its because we din make a booking, the restaurant is full house and we have to be in the waiting list. Its hard to estimate when will it be our turn for dinner, so we leave and go for the Puppet show only la!
We walk back to the old town square, the National Marionette Theater is located just somewhere around it. The streets around there is very dark, we are getting lost finding the theater. Looking at the time 8pm we are almost late for the show which will start at 8.30pm. we still haven buy the tickets...
It so happened that we met 2 policemen, we ask them how to go to the National Marionette Theater....they 'ngi ngi ngor ngor' talking like a drunken man...they dont know where is the place too...
Keep walking and still we not able to find it ....suddenly we thought is the National Marionette Theater the same with the National Theater near the embankment?
Hmm....without any doubt we immediately rush to it...and check with the ticketing counter...ops...its not the one we looking for..then we met another pedestrian and ask him if he knows about it...he said:" sincerely...i dont really heard about this before..."
Its already 8.45pm seems we had missed the show ....i just wonder how come like nobody knows about this theater?? i suppose it a must-see show at Prague, since they have so many souvenir shop selling puppets here??
Haih..the plan for tonight is all gone...no dinner...no puppet show...we simply walk along the street....
Charles bridge at night
Prague's castle at night
We not sure what to do next...so just stroll along the river bank...still hesitating if we should go back to that restaurant for dinner...suddenly hubby remembered there's another restaurant also highly recommended by Tripadvisor....and its very near to our hotel too....
Artisan Cafe
located secretly at a quiet street....not easy to find.....
but its a good one....rank No5 of 1,067 restaurant in Prague...woohoo!
price is reasonable...
yum~~ the best beer in town!
while waiting for food...we recall back the places we went and those funny things happened these few days
Its such a nice place for romantic candle lit dinner...celebrating our honeymoon
we really enjoy the night so much~!
After the perfect romantic meal, we have to head back to hotel, packed and ready for next stop ~ ~ Vienna~!
