Looking forward to it!
Second day, Wednesday, June 14th, Prauge
We started at 9:00 am with a bus tour of the city and our fast-moving, fast-talking guide, Ava. Some people didn't like her, but she was full of historical information but I thought she was great. This tour is really worth the money, so take it some day!
We visited Hradcany Castle first thing. (1000 years old) on the upper level of Prague, (I think!). For some reason the Czech Republic was not bombed during World War II. I am thinking that it was a neutral country. Beautiful architecture, lots of gold, everything from the ballroom to the bedroom of the kings and queens, the guesthouse where visiting dignataries could stay. (Seems like Clinton had stayed there.) I tried to pace myself, but Ava very often started her lecture at a location before I got there! We waited about 20 minutes to watch the changing of the guard. They only stay for one hour and are expected to stand statue-still for one hour. Ugh!
We then descended a walkway with 387 steps down to the Little Quarter. I just kept telling myself -- the next flight of steps -- about 10-13 in each flight. But the treat at the bottom was worth it! Read on.
(To be continued.)
