So I'm walking along the Vlatava, thinking, "Wow, that's a lot of people fishing..." And a short while later, I hear music coming from a nearby island (Strelecsky Ostrov, if you're taking notes). I head over to the island, and find a concert in progress, which turns out to be part of The First Annual Orvis Cup- Prague. Which explained why all the people were fishing on the same place, and seemed a bit frantic in their casting. I couldn't tell who won (and few people seemed to be paying attention to what appeared to be the announcements of the results), but the music was fun. And I had the chance to sample the Czech fast-food staple of sausage with mustard and bread (the bread is optional). The crowd seemed kinda thin, so I'm not sure whether there will be a 2nd annual...

And that was all the time I had for Prague on this trip. I'll go back, with or without the Orvis Cup. I get the feeling it's the kind of place where you run into little events like that on a regular basis. So when the music switched over to a band I didn't like, I hopped on a tram back to the Pension Madona (after spending some time shooting some nighttime pictures of Prague, some of which can be found in the main gallery). Actually, I think I went back via the Cafe Louvre...

I packed up, and the next morning headed to the Florenc bus station to head for my next destination. It turns out that the buses are nice, efficient, and cheap- although getting information about them and buying tickets can be a pain in the neck, complete with shabby service.
