A (predominantly) sunny day in Prague!

28/05/2010 - 21:33 - Day 3 – Prague, Czech Republic

Well, it was our last full day in Prague today. Knowing we could possibly have the bags all day tomorrow gave us great inspiration to see the rest of the city and we’ve pretty much done that today! I slept reasonably well last night, albeit with the aid of earplugs.

In the morning we went up to the other side of the river, and slowly made our way up the cobbled streets, eventually up the castle steps (which for an unfit blob like me were very steep) to the entrance of the castle. We had a look around there for a while, and then headed into the cathedral within the castle complex – St Vitus Cathedral. The queue for it was quite long but very worthwhile as it was beautiful inside, much like I would expect somewhere in Rome.

We stopped for lunch just outside the castle, had a sandwich each and a small rest. The weather at this point kept changing from showers to sun.

After lunch we headed along the top of the hill where the castle and various other sights lay, such as the Strahov Monastery and the Loreto. It was very steep and I surprised myself with my own fitness. We then headed along the forest area adjacent to the monuments to the funicular, when we slowly made our way back down towards Charles Bridge and the other side of the river, where our hotel was. The weather in the afternoon was very good, even got a little sunburnt on the bald head!

This evening, yet again we had a meal out, for a very reasonable price. I finally tried the goulash today, and it was great.

Who knows what we will do tomorrow, very little if we have our rucksacks. If the hotel will lock them away for the day, another day of exploration awaits – hopefully.
