Bear and Marmot in Germany and the Czech Republic


A Side Trip to Budweis

Up To Overview

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.
