Hi Actifitters,

yesterday, we started the day at a leisurely pace. It was my wife’s birthday, so I took a morning walk through an almost deserted Prague to pick up some breakfast items and a small bunch of flowers. It was truly remarkable how few people were out on the streets at such an early hour; when we first arrived, we had been completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of tourists everywhere. After breakfast, my wife decided that we should enjoy the bottle of sparkling wine—which we had already put on ice the night before—in the bathtub. It was her birthday, so her word was law. Feeling slightly tipsy, we then set off for a stroll to explore the other side of the Charles Bridge.

A short uphill climb awaited us there, leading us to Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral. Since I’m not a huge culture buff, I didn’t mind that there was an admission fee for the cathedral. It gave me a good reason not to have to see the interior. ;-)

That was also the case when, a little later, we reached a tower that you could ascend either by elevator or by taking the stairs. I would have liked to do the latter for the sake of fitness, but that, too, would have been exorbitantly expensive.

At least we had a great view of Prague from up here.

After taking a few photos, we headed back toward the hotel and found a nice burger restaurant along the way where food and drinks are delivered to your table by a model train. It was a fun experience, and the food was delicious.

We wrapped up the evening with a few frozen mojitos at a bar next to our accommodation.

Due to a short vacation, there will be no new information here until Monday.

Today we are changing accommodation, moving from the Old Town to a location closer to the New Town. From there, we plan to visit the TV tower later on. It will probably cost money to go up to the top, but we’ll see. In any case, there is supposed to be a nice beer garden there, and the walk to get there is said to be lovely.
