RE: Travel with Steem-Samiam

Very nice photos! I love those powder towers! Did you take the walking tour, by chance? Did you get to try the beer up by the cathedral, created by the monks? It's.... divine! I'd go back to Prague just for the beer.

The clock is fun, too. When I was there, we stayed at a hostel about a block up from that clock. Back then, they hadn't figured out how to put the minute and hour had on the same dial. Baby steps.

It looks like you had a good time.

Holy...beer created by the monks, and a walking tour???...I'll have to go back! Lol Thanks for the photo compliments, when I was making the post I was a plotting how I would take the pictures for next time :)

Yeah, those monks are awesome! We got one of each kind to taste, and it was like a color wheel. They had a really good red, but the Czech lager (obviously!) was the best one. They also, apparently, used to buy weird taxidermy and have a museum showing some of the more strange ones. That gem from the walking tour guide :-)

The tower thing in your photo was used to store munitions back in the day. From what I remember (been awhile!) there were others like it that got hit. Apparently, storing your explosives in a cool tower thing makes it a target. Who knew? :-)

Whoa, walking tour sounds amazing! I would like the weird taxidermy too! Thanks for the valuable info!!!
