Prague, Day 3
We spent most of today at the Prague Zoo. I don’t think either of expected it to be as big as it was. In about 6 hours, we probably only saw about three-fourths of it. Families were out in abundance, and rightfully so. Besides all of the animals, the zoo has a lot of play stations (including mock sword fighting) spread around the zoo for additional diversion. There are several adult play stations too, in the form of stands that sell big cups of beer. Although it was tempting, I did not participate in the fun (dueling, drinking, or dueling and drinking).
We were pleased to see how well-behaved all of the Czech kids were. A zoo is normally a pretty crazy place, but not once did we see a mom or dad yelling at their kid to shut up or get away from something, as is all too often the case back home. At the same time, it looked like the kids had a lot more freedom to roam at will. I’m sure this is not coincidental.
Following the zoo, we fought our way on to a packed bus and ventured back to Old Town, where we found a pizza place that had some vegetarian options. The food and beer was excellent, and cheap. We walked off the meal through winding, narrow streets until we found our way back to a metro stop and then home.
