Our second day out (Havličkovy Park)

On Saturday the 31st we headed out for more park exploration. There is another large park a few blocks form our current flat called Havličkovy. This park had a very nice new playground including a fenced small soccer/basketball area. The sandbox was very large and proved to be Alex's favorite spot. There is a very large stone building being renovated in the park itself. It will most likely be a restaurant and potentially some flats as well. The terrace around the back of the building is huge and has some amazing views looking down into the city. I was only able to take some pictures from the gate as the construction had it pretty well blocked off for the renovation. Someone had hung a few soda bottle bird feeders up in the park that were getting some great use. The park has a large section of a ridge planted with grape vines. It will be interesting to see what happens with these as the seasons progress. We walked back from the park and stopped in at a cafe (Zanzibar) 2 blocks from our house for lunch. It was very nice and one of the waitresses spoke English which made it easy. They serve breakfast all day and have a very large selection...however, we did learn that a pancake is actually a crepe - which did not make Alex very happy since she expected them to be the same as Daddy's Sunday Brunch version. After lunch we went back to our flat and Alex took a nap. After her nap we went out again a another nice little playground a couple blocks away. This was very new and was actually built in the space that is the green clearing in the link above . Alex played there for about an hour and a half before it started to really cool off and we headed home. (Click the image above to see more pictures)
