Pilzner Urquell Brewery
Simron, Me, and Colin tasking awesomely fresh beer
Gotta love the czech meat! Just like in Poland
The 3rd largest Synagog in the world
That would be a "pork knee"
I was itching to travel this weekend, so I went to Plzen, where the brewery for Pilzner beer was founded. The bummer was that it took me 3 hours to get there! If I'd gone by car, probably woulda taken only 2 hours or less. 1 hr from Mlada Boleslav to Praha, then 40 min from the first subway station to the the last stop. Then 1 hour from Zlicin to Plzen. PHEW!
I had a bit of trouble navigating the city, there were no street signs! I was getting annoyed and couldn't find the Plzen Brewery. I was about to give up, and I just happened to look up and it was across the street! So, I made it in time to go on the 2:15 English tour.
On the tour I met 2 guys from San Fran. I was so surprised to hear American English, and even more cuz it was with a Cali accent. We ended up going for some beer and food after the tour, then took the bus back to Praha and went to dinner. I introduced them to some czech specialties, food and drink :)
The only bummer was that because the tour took 2 hours I really didn't get to see any of Plzen the city, except what I walked through. Bummer that it takes 3 hours to get to, or I'd definitely go back.
