Auf Wiedersehen Vienna, Ahoj Prague (6/18)

Woke up early and had breakfast at the hotel this morning for convenience.  Maybe not such a good idea after all because Fe had something that didn't agree with her.  I kept a close eye on her while we were on the train, but luckily nothing too bad happened.  Easy for me to say.

Although it was the longest train ride so far, it was the smoothest one of all three.  They even had a beverage and snack cart come by a few times.  We didn't use that though.

Not our train, but we rode a similar one

The train got to Prague at about 1:30 pm and after some discussions about how to get to our hotel, we finally got there and checked in.  This is a nice one and unlike the others breakfast is included! 

After unpacking and settling in, Fe still wasn't feeling good and needed to  rest.  She told me to go explore the town, to which I reluctantly agreed.  I tried to scope out some of the highlights we'd see later, and then I got lost.  That was the best!



House at the MinuteKafka lived here (with his parents) from 1889 to 1896.

Charles IV (Wenceslaus) statue.  He was the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Old Town Square.  Jan Hus statue at the left and Church of  Our Lady before Tyn.

Luckily, Fe felt better when I got back, so we went back out to get some evening pictures (and souvenirs).

This was the Hard Rock Cafe building.

Vltava River.  Prague is the only city we've visited that is not on the Danube.

Both of us were dead tired when we got back.  I'm going to have to start taking vitamins.
