Prague - Czech Republic, 08/29/1998 A long train ride from Paris, to return to Prague.
After many months of travel, it feels weird to get to a place "known." Luckily I had to repeat a city from which it was easy to fall in love, so I started to enjoy, rather than just sightseeing.
The wait in front of the Uruguayan embassy in Prague (to be closed for the weekend) was quite long, for my new teammates were slow to arrive. While waiting I had lunch at a local restaurant (U Voja CKU). Rich fish, and as he had written before, very cheap for what they are European prices.
With this new group were less expensive accommodations, betting basically a campground where we camped sometimes and other times we used cabins. In Prague the option was offers comfortable cabins in the Autocamp Trojska ( Trojska 375/157).
Once installed, while the companions were the tours (which I had already done) I devoted myself to revisit my two favorite places in the city: Prague Castle (whose tower had a death row inmate who extended his living playing the violin, because it was so good that people would rather hear his music before he was killed), the Gothic Church (with its towers 58 meters high) and Bridge over the Vltava River the year 1357 (with music by the jazz band the bridge, which I brought a CD).
At night we enjoyed some music . On two different nights we went to two very different places: on the traditional Reduta Jazz Club (founded in 1958 and counts as one of the first in Europe) where they played great jazz and some other celebrities like Bill Clinton sax. There is nothing to pay an entrance face (3.75 dollars) saw a local band called "The eye of the hurricane."
The other musical experience was in a smaller pub (Glena Maleh U) where he played "Stan The Man " Bohemian Blues Band featuring the album: " Liquor, Love & Lies ." Really good. The first two tracks show off the guitarist left with very lengthy solos, but then took his fixed role of bassist and owner was even better. The musicians were rotating from the tables of groups, alternating drummer, guitarists and pianists in the style jam session .
