Dual Travelers : Prague Day 2 ~ 12/3/18

Prague is a beautiful city. So rich in history and beautiful architecture. You have the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Classicism or Empire Style, Historicism, Moorish revival, Art Nouveau, Cubism and Rondocubism, Functionalism and a few more. Here is a link to explain them if you are interested and see if you can figure out the styles from our pictures. https://www.prague-stay.com/lifestyle/category/36-prague-architecture

We started the day off with breakfast here at our hotel then we left out on a beautiful morning to meet our guide at the Municipal House. Walking is hard here everything cobblestones. There is no concrete or asphalt side walks and roads. Cross walks are at your own risks if you don't make eye contact with the drivers it could get interesting. EEK But honestly you learn how to do it and go on and have a great day.

Girls and their boots! We truly all felt these boots kept our feet warm and dry and trust me we needed these for those rainy and cold days. If you need a pair we got them at Costco!

We did a walking tour of the city starting in Old Town where we go there in time to se the Famous Astronomical Clock perform....not a good word but it did draw a huge crowd. We also were treated to one of their Spa wafers a very classic Czech snack.

Our guide Nikola below getting us started

Cool cars like this everywhere for tours

Later we headed towards Prague Castle we got to ride their Tram/bus/train but we would would call it a trolley it runs on rails and is electric powered. The castle has Palace Guards just like Buckingham Palace. The Czech military was all around due to their President of Prague's office being within the Palace gates and he was in the country. If he is in the country the Flag is up and it was flying.

We visited St Vitus Cathedral at the Palace. They still hold morning mass everyday and a Sunday mass. although I don't believe it has any heat at all. It was cold in there and we had encountered rain yet again when we arrived. We observed the changing of the palace guards and I believe Michael tagged me in a video on Facebook if you want to see.

Off we go down the hill we go to head to lunch. It was a typical Czech restaurant.

Then we headed to our Vltava River Cruise. Where we were served tea, coffee, lemonade..which I believe was more like a sprite. We were given a gingerbread treat that had a plum jam middle and covered with chocolate.
