PILZEN
Awoke in reasonable order, suffered through another barely
adequate breakfast, packed our gear and headed for Czech.
We’re in Bohemia baby and we’re rapt!
Sunday in Pilzen is not the most exciting place to be.
Especially with the temperature nudging 40decC. The walk from the train station
was particularly concerning. Boarded up buildings, graffiti everywhere and long
grassers pissing in the streets. Nevertheless we pushed on and were pleasantly
surprised with our hotel built in the remains of a fortress with an excellent
terrace overlooking the park garden.
We set out for a bit of a look around the city and somehow
ended up at the Pilsner Urquell Brewery. We had a few beers and when we left
the brewery, Pilzen looked a little better.
Woke the next morning to a breakfast of boiled
eggs and croissants and ....whaaaaaat?........hang on! Where’s my smoked salmon and caviar?
Outrageous! There will be an email to tripadvisor on this one!
TODAYS BEER
PILSNER URQUEL
Clear, tasty, refreshing, clean after tase, excellent head, all good! No wonde Czechs drink 150 litres of beer per head per year on average.....and it's cheaper than bottled water!
