Today we did a tour of the inside of the Castle. What a huge complex. We only saw a small part of it but it goes on forever. One of the largest , if not the largest castles in Europe. The castle building surrounds St Vitas Cathedral which is huge in itself. The cathedral has beautiful stained glass windows.
We were picked up at the hotel and drove to the castle with our guide for the day. I think her name must have been Mrs Grumpy, couldn't crack a smile if she tried. She seemed to know her stuff but had no personality and didn't speak very loudly. This can be a problem for some people who don't hear very well you know! She was so different to the lady we had for the previous two days. Needless to say Grumpy didn't get a tip.
Anyway the tour ended at the Charles Bridge and we walked back to the hotel. The Maximillian Hotel is in a very good spot within walking distance of both the main square and the Revolution Square, which seem to be the two main centers, so Anne has done a good job with her hotel selections. If you are missing your pets at home, while you stay here they will put a goldfish in your room for you to talk to.
Dinner was next on the agenda and we had Goulash with dumplings and steamed cabbage.
It was raining on and off during the day so our umbrellas were out a bit and as they have just about packed it in we might have to invest in new ones
Tomorrow we catch the train to Budapest at 9.35, seven hour trip.
Na shiedanou from Praha. ..........Al says this means goodbye
