No Flex Zone... in Prague

After such an amazing time in Munich, I thought Prague was going to have to be a little bit of a let down. However our first night started off great with a fantastic, cheap first meal. Each beer cost just over a dollar after conversion and each meal was around $5 and it was all great food. This was when we realized just how expensive Munich had been and opened us up to the new excitements that awaited in Prague. Here are a few of the sites we saw on our tour the first day and while renting some paddle boats:

During the tour that first day, we also learned that Czechs drink more beer per capita than any other nation in the world and it isn't even close. After confirming on Wikipedia, as much as it can be "confirmed" this way, it was exactly as the guide said- Czechs average 140 liters of beer per person per year and the next closest is Austria with around 100 liters of beer per person per year. After we went out a few of the nights, I could see why. The local brews (they have several international sized breweries and many microbreweries) were all so cheap, usually between $1 and $2 each and even less at a market. Whereas the mixed drinks seemed to be just as expensive if not more so than in the US, usually costing between $5-$10 each.

So while we thought we had left the promise land of beer drinking that was Munich, we were only just beginning. Here are a couple pictures from our brewery tour:

I'd also like to say that the night life here was amazing. We went on a boat party and out to a couple of the largest, most famous night clubs in Prague. I expected these well known clubs to be very touristy and while they were, it didn't detract from them at all. They were so much better than I could have expected.  I don't have any pictures from the clubs, but here are the rest of the pictures we got while exploring Prague:
