Day Seven: Prague

So today, we spent a full day in Prague, touring, giving concerts and taking the long-needed nap. 


**Disclaimer: My camera died today... so I have very, very few pictures taken by my iPhone.


We started off in the morning with a tour of the Prague Castle, and an informal concert in St. Vitus Cathedral, on the grounds of the Prague Castle. Then, we crossed the beautiful Charles Bridge into Old Town Prague, and walked to the Old Town Square. Our lovely tour guide, Olga, then left us and we went our separate ways for lunch before the formal concert that afternoon at St. Nicholas Cathedral in Old Town Square. We then had the option of exploring Prague at leisure for the afternoon, or following Johan back to the hotel for a quiet afternoon in before dinner. We chose the latter, because at this point... we were EXHAUSTED, folks. So BODB took naps together.... literally, guys. German, Nicole and I slept in our bed, while Devon slept on our floor. And then Molly and Nathan were in their respective rooms... each with their own full bed. Were they the smart ones? Arguably. Did we have more fun? Most definitely. That night for dinner, we went to this lovely restaurant right off the square, and had a wonderful dinner.  


Here are some pictures from the day:


This is Prague.

St. Nicholas Church at night.

The clock tower in Old Town Square. There's this cool astronomical clock on the side of this tower, and there's a presentation every hour where the figures on the wall animate and herald the hour, followed by a trumpet salute by a trumpeter standing on the top level that you see in the picture.
