Rested after our rather sleepless train journey the night
before, we had discovered that the room seems to keep moving. No doubt a left over effect of having been on
the train all night. We had a leisurely breakfast with what seemed to be almost
as many wait staff as customers. Our E
Class Mercedes limousine came to pick us up, leaving our baggage at the hotel. We met our tour guide, Krystov (not sure
about the spelling) who gave us useful tips on where to go because I had
thought to stay away from the northern section as this is where he would take
us today we went down to the Vlavta River to take photos of the Municipal
Building, the bridges, the Twisted Building, the National Opera, the Lego Museum and the Prague castle on the
hill. After lunch we went to the
National Museum but is was closed. We
could have gone into the new building but we decided to go back to the hotel,
retracing the steps via a Jewish synagogue we saw when we first arrived.
The hotel had upgraded us to a suite for two nights…very
nice. That broken water pipe is the best thing that has happened to us on the
trip. Prague is the city that never sleeps, well not when the trams go all
night.
At 6PM we met our cruise buddies and the tour guide, Kystov, who is Polish, gave a presentation
that was thorough and useful. Most people
seem to be from Queensland and New South Wales.
They seem slightly healthier than our last group but they were sitting
down at the time.
After he took us for a quick tour to the Old Market Square and
it was most informative. Tomorrow will be day 65.
