Czech Republic - Prague

A bit of a slow start this morning after we slept through our alarm ... we must have needed the sleep! :-) (Should we really have an alarm?)

Today we explored the Prague Castle. With our ‘Prague Card’ we were able to access many of the individual elements of the castle for free which was great otherwise it could have been an extremely expensive day! We spent majority of the day at the castle - it is quite large and is almost like a little town within its own right. The castle dates back to 9th century and has been the home of many of the important people in The Czech Republics long history.

The cathedral, St Vitus’s Cathedral, is extremely impressive and holds the tomb of King Wenceslas (as in “Good King Wenceslas”).

After exhausting ourselves at the Castle we wandered through a little more of Mala Strana and found ourselves a string concerto to go to. This was made up of 5 members of the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra including 2 Violins, 1 Viola, 1 Double Bass, and a Cello. They were awesome!

We then enjoyed a very Czech meal at a local pub and made our way back to our campsite for the night.
