Day 2 in Prague, woke up to the rain. Our morning walk led us to David Cerny’s giant crawling babies outside Kampa Museum, which effectively enhanced the eerie mood. A little disturbing, yes.
Then, The Disappearing Man, a memory of what it was like to live under Communism.
Thankfully, the gloominess was wiped away by a sunny breakfast at Cafe Savoy.
Savoy breakfast (178 czk): toast, prague ham, organic Emmenthal cheese, lightly boiled egg, housemade bread, farm butter, housemade jam, nut marble cake, hot chocolate savoy.
Vltava River in winter rain: melancholy and beautiful.
Night falls. Yes, already! Day light is that short-lived here in wintry Prague.
Old Town Square, again.
Yet another installation art by David Cerny, titled “Love”. It’s a 5-meter-long golden bone suspended in air at the intersection of Dlouhá and Rybná streets. Read more about it here.
Day 2 ended with dinner at La Degustation, a one Michelin Star restaurant featuring new interpretations of Czech specialties. The 6-course dinner menu (not including a flurry of amuse bouche) is 2150 czk. An 11-course menu is also available for 3150 czk. Here are some snapshots.
