I was met at Prague airport by my companion, Alice, and her wonderful Boxer, Aisha, who is really my best friend in the world. I'd had a couple of hours at Helsinki airport to have a shower, and having slept quite well on the long flight I had sufficient energy to suggest we went direclty to Kolkovna, which is another one of my favourite restaurants in Prague. There I thoroughly enjoyed th traditional Czech dish of roast duck, dumplings, sauerkraut and red cabbage.
Restaurants in Prague are very welcoming of dogs, in fact arguably they serve pets better than humans. Almost immediately a waiter will bring a bowl of water for your animal. If you are lucky, they may then bring you some liquid refreshment as well. I was pleased to enjoy a much-welcomed half litre of Pilsner-Urquell, which really is the most wonderful lager on the planet. Aisha was very happy to eat the bones from my duck. So there was happiness both above and below the restaurant table.
Now it's time to rest my weary head on my own pillow. It's been a long time since I slept in my own bed. Home sweet home.
