Prague continued...

Linnea and I spent the weekend touring the city with Richard and Jana (our wonderful hosts). Monday morning they left for work early in the morning leaving Linnea and I to wake up slowly, and have a leisurely breakfast before heading into town. 

On the agenda for day one on our own: Prague Castle. 

But first a peek at the flat we stayed in:

The apartment complex.

Kitchen.

 One large room with the bedroom on one side, living room on the other.

The guest room.

Eastern European Shower Bath!

 And now photos from Prague Castle:

Changing of the Guards.

Inside the castle walls.

St. Vitus Cathedral.

The Gothic facade is only from 1953 but the stone foundation was laid in 1344.

 

St. George Basilica founded in 920.

The Golden Lane.

Tiny colorful cottages from the 16th century.

This street was so adorable. Behind each door was a set-up of how the flat (or room really) would have looked when they were occupied in the 16th century. Behind other doors are small shops with small crafts and souvenirs. In the 18th and 19th century this street was occupied by squatters and then by artist including Kafka.

These are just a select few of the many photos taken at Prague Castle. 

Still more to come. Up next- Food!
