Another loooong weekend to burn. This time we went to Pilsen or Plze\u0148 in the Czech Republic.
You might wonder why the pilsner type blond lager is called Pilsner – yes the first Pilsen was brewed right here. Pilsner Urquell is the original pilsner and first pale lager beer in the world. The people of the city where not happy with the beer the local brewers brew. So the city officials asked Josef Groll, a Bavarian brewer, to develop a better beer. On 5 October 1842, Groll had a new mash ready and on 11 November 1842, the new beer was first served at the feast of Saint Martin markets. Everybody was happy so they brew it till today.
A long time ago I passed Pilsen on a train. I saw only the train station but I knew – one day I will be back here.
\n
Did book a room for two nights in a quite suburb but a few days before the weekend I found out we can spend one extra night – that is why it is called a looooong weekend.
Unfortunately the hotel was booked solid so we spend the first night in another place.<\/p>\n

Quite nice but a bit to far out to walk to town. The next morning we went to the other hotel, parked the car and walked into the city.<\/p>\n
