Prague Diaries. Slaving my body parts off.

Since I had never needed to think about what to do in Prague with kids, I obviously didn't have any ideas to shake out from my sleeve. Google helped me out and told us that Prague Zoo is among the best ones in the world. So, based on that and on Saskia's request, zoo was our first destination today. As the mentioned animals were sleeping until 9am and the tourists were looking bright eyed at the ceiling by 6am, I made the brilliant suggestion to walk over Charles Bridge and take a cab from there. I also knew a street corner there, where Prague free wifi was available. So, we started our way there, bought few trdelniks on the way and made it to the Staromestska. It turned out that 8:30am is the most popular time there for wedding and all other kind of photo shoots. Within five minutes we saw five of them. We kept walking and on the Charles Bridge watched the apostles and some more photo shoots.

On the other side of the bridge it turned out that Prague has removed their free wifi from there. So, I went to the hostel across the street and asked to use theirs. And already 6 minutes later Anatolii was picking us up.

In the zoo Gerli had that heureka moment and thought it was a great idea to take that wooden carrier for the case should Saskia get tired to walk. We soon found out that Prague Zoo is located on hillier grounds that the country of Norway and I spent most of my energy on pulling the empty carrier up the hill or trying to keep my balance when skidding behind it downhill.

The zoo itself was indeed very interesting - we went to Indonesian jungle, where bats flew freely above our heads, watched elephants, polar bear, giraffes and half of the rest of the animals. We had quick lunch in the local eatery and three hours later were ready to hit the road to get back to the apartment and have a little nap. We again ordered the cab and obviously have left inextinguishable impression on Anatolii, because again he picked up our order and soon also us.

Some napped for an hour, the stronger ones boldly stared at the ceiling. In the afternoon we first went to DM to stock up on some cosmetics and from there to the best vegan ice cream joint in town, so Saskia could choose one she'd like. However, the waiting line around the block was not in our schedule, so we returned to the previous shopping center, where we could get some ice cream also without spending hours in waiting line.

With the ice creams we made our way to the finest toy store in Prague. It turned out to be a full toy center - huge shop, slide, carousel, ice cream stand, mirror labyrinth, butterfly farm and lego museum.
