Prague - day two

After sleeping the sleep of the very well exercised we awoke to face day two of our Prague adventure. The weather blessed us again and we took the same route in as yesterday - its amazing how quickly new transport systems and places become so familiar. We felt like old hands at it. Today we started over the other side of Charles Bridge in Lesser Town. We visited the St Nicholas Church as well as others, umpteen squares, went up the funicular railway to the top of Petrin Hill and walked in the woods to see the whole city from above - that was wonderful. Then we wandered through the monastery area, the castle and St Vitus Cathedral before climbing down all 203 steps to the Lesser Town again. A last walk over Charles Bridge before catching the metro back and Prague was relegated to our memory banks.

There is just so much to see and on every street and around every corner are magnificent statues, facades, churches and monuments. I think we must have covered 90% of Prague over the two days. We haven't seen it by night though but that is how it will stay. As I write this we are truly knackered, spent, brain dead and cultured out of our minds. We feel like Michael Palin on his travels - but without the camera men!

We have put on as many pictures as the blog will allow but we have taken so many more than this I can assure you. At one point we were queuing for the Bankomat (hole in the wall - Prague is very expensive these days) and the shop window was mirrored -I just couldn't resist taking a photo - thinking it would just reflect back on us with the flash - but no!

Tomorrow we move on to near Desov - in the middle of nowhere really - but close to the Austrian border so that we can make that our next destination. We are at Desov for two nights only. Because there is no internet, or anything else associated with civilisation we are taking the opportunity to rest up and recuperate. This pace we have set ourselves is taking its toll and we are exhausted - but happy and very satisfied with life.

The blog will therefore resume after we have hit Austria and returned to human life as we know it - until then...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
