Arrival in Prague

14/8/2010

Hi to family and friends,

We have now been away a week and how the time flies. We had a long flight over to Prague, 28 hours in all.  Too long.  
Everywhere in the old town is cobblestones so if hard on the feet.  We have walked a long way everyday seeing as much as possible.
We bought a book on Prague from Melbourne and it had walking tracks to follow so we have walked many of them.  We are staying at the Imperial Hotel which is a restored Art Deco building.  Truly lovely.  The walls and ceiling are all tiled. Amazing.   
Everywhere in Prague there are so many lovely wonderful old buildings   We have near our hotel the Municipal Building. (which is really the opera house) It is a beautiful building which took three years to restore. Yesterday we did a guided tour which was interesting.
Today we walked for four hours around the Prague Castle.  We paid for headphones to see everything.  
We have walked to Lesser town, the Old Town square and Charles bridge to name a few.  We did a tour of the Jewish Quarter and was taken into St James Basilica on the way.  Out mouths dropped open it so beautiful inside.
We met 29 of the people from our trip last night.  I think the rest (121) must be joining us in Budapest.  We are going to have dinner together at the hotel tonight.

Till next instalment,

Love to everyone,

Jill and Trevor
