We also took a day trip to Budweis,
home of Budweiser beer. No, not that stuff from St. Louis,
but Budweiser beer.
Budweis is the old German name for the
city, located a long two and a half train ride south of
Prague--maybe all of 100 kilometers or so. The Czech name is
Ceske Budovice.
Unfortunately, the English tour of the
brewery started at 12:15, and the train arrived at noon, so
no brewery tour for us.
To the left, Chris stands alongside
City Hall.
Later, we walked along the street and
had lunch in the old meat-market, now a restaurant. Chris
ordered something that on the menu read "Secrets of the
Cloister" (in German). He had no idea what it was, but he
said it was yummy!
To the right, I peek out of the black tower, which stands
above Budweis. It's where the picture of the square above
was taken.
