Vacation Day 5: Praha

Prague


We decided to do another tour thing to see the sights of Prague because many things are so spread out and it seemed like it would be best. We were picked up at our hotel and driven to the tour starting/meeting point. We got on a bus that drove us around and the guide pointed out some things. Again, it was hard to take pictures from inside the bus, and also a little difficult to listen to the man while trying to entertain and contain Colin. After driving for a bit then we stopped and it became a walking tour. We went to Prague Castle, the largest castle in the world, to see the palace. It is massive and composed of several buildings on the castle grounds. It is where the Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept and all the government happenings go on. It’s also the biggest castle in the world! Everything is so beautiful in Prague. The buildings and the architecture are amazing and things are so old! Many places we’ve seen in Germany are old as well but have had some restoration after damage during the war. Many things here in Prague have been untouched for the most part. The weather for today said 70% chance of rain, but we got very lucky and while it was very cloudy and overcast all day, we didn’t have any real rain drops fall while we were out and about during the day. Prague is huge and spread out with lots of things to see. At every corner and alley are incredible buildings that look like works of art.
