Prague XXIX: Strahov Library


The Strahov Monastery has an impressive library with books I would have loved to get my hands on. Alas, they didn't let you touch them.















This set of books actually had pieces of plants on the binders! Of course, they were so old you could no longer tell what they were.

Prague XXVIII: Beer!

Mmmmm Beer!
We visited the Strahov Monastery to see the library, but first we had some lunch and beer that they make there. It was quite good!












Random building detail shots taken on our way there.
