4/10/16 - Birthday!

We had coffee and breakfast at the apartment and then headed down to take a boat cruise to get a view of the city from the water.

Beer and guide books on the river cruise

Plenty of bridges on the tour

The Jewish Cemetery was too crowded with tourists so we decided find a good traditional lunch spot where we split a spicy sausage dish (mustard & horseradish), Jeff had a potato soup and Stephanie had Svicova (but it was a bit sweeter than her grandmother's version).

We then went to visit the famous Astronomical Clock (we got there just as it was ringing, an hourly spectacle)

and go up to the City Tower where we got some great views of the city and rooftops.

Wondering around, we found the opera ticket office and picked up our credentials for the following night.

Estates Theater

We then came across an art deco exhibit at the Municipal House, a beautiful event space in New Town.

Back at the apartment, Stephanie got another birthday present and we changed for dinner at La Degustation, Boheme Bourgeoise...the only Michelin Star restaurant in Prague, where we had a delicious tasting menu with wine paring. Not a bad birthday!
