Sunday morning in Žižkov
I followed a pomeranian through this tunnel last night to the tiki bar It was just me and this weimaraner on this block Found the TV tower with babies crawling on it Spent the morning walking uphill and buying little coffees. Meant to get breakfast but just wandered around for a few hours instead. I liked this area a lot.
