Day 5: Aug 10, 2009 / Prague, Czech Republic
Because we walk almost the whole day the day before, our initial plan to wake up early and explore Prague again did not materialize. It is a Monday so Howell’s friend, Joanne, already left for work when we woke up. Ger, on the other hand is already waiting for us. After taking a bath, I had the time to chat with Bela again and then I prepared breakfast afterwards.
Since Geri works on a flexi time, she was able to take us to the foot of the stairs leading to the Prague Castle before she went to work. We hike up to Prague Castle and we realized that we really need exercise as we are really catching our breath when we reached the top.
We went inside and line up to go inside St. Vito’s Cathedral and as usual, the cathedral was breathtaking. After our tour inside the Cathedral, we went around the Prague Castle grounds for more pictorial.
We went out and lie down under the tree in a small park outside Prague castle and we were able to take a nap (that is how tired we are). Then we went to Charles Bridge again and walk up to the other side where we saw a Chinese restaurant and had our lunch there.
After lunch, we had a photo opp again at the viewing deck at the end of the Charles Bridge. We walked beside the river and we stayed at the park near National Theater while waiting for Geri. After meeting up with Geri, we walked pass the National Theater to go to the Jewish Community.
We then went souvenir shopping at the souvenir shops near the Charles Bridge Museum. After that, we decided to cross the Charles Bridge again for more night pictorial (did you notice how many times we cross the bridge? We just love this bridge, perfect for photo op. LOL). Then we had dinner at Mc Donalds. After dinner, we took a tram and alight in front of the National Museum to take a picture of the Charles Bridge at night from afar. Too bad it was raining so the lights of the bridge were off.
Then we decided to call it a day and went home as we still have to pack our things and say our thank you and goodbye to Joanne.
