A day off in Prague
Just down the street from Monika's flat we found a cafe that served breakfast. The menu contained mostly American-like breakfast items which was nice for a change. We walked into the main tourist area of town, got a tourist map that listed all of the must-see sights and began walking around to find them. We signed up for a 2:15 3 1/2 hour sightseeing tour and found a few of the sights on our own until then. The tour was about half bus and half walking with a live tour guide. It was informative and we hit most of the major sites. St. Vitus cathedral, which is across the river in the Prague Castle area, was very impressive but we were sort of rushed through it because it was closing time. At the end of the tour we got to go up the old town hall tower in the old town square and saw a fantastic view of the city. Since it was 5:50 we decided to stick around for the 6:00 dinging of the astronomical clock on the tower. It was supposed to be pretty cool and quite a large cr!
owd was gathering. It was interesting with a few moving figures and all but only lasted a few seconds.
The two tired puppies walked their tails back to the house and then took Monika, our hostess, and her son, Vatek, out to dinner at their favorite Italian restaurant just a few blocks from their flat.
