Day 74 Sunday 1st August:
We both forgot “a pinch and a punch”! remembering it later in the evening.
We woke to find a much more pleasant day ahead – the rained had stopped. We had an early start drove in to Prague and took some time to find a place to park for the day. We walked to the castle ( supposedly the largest castle complex in Europe) , cathedral, watched the changing of the guard with hundreds of others, and then caught the “Hop On-and- Off Bus” to the old town and the new town (17th Century) and the Jewish quarter. We watched, again with hundreds of other, the Astronomical Clock do its thing on the hour, then had a beer with lunch.
Prague had thousands of tourist – not our scene – but Prague would be a place to visit for a longer stay.
Again, the comparison between the communist era and the modern era is evident for all to see ie the big sports stadium, which holds 200 000 spectators, and the TV Tower – both ugly. Headed off towards Plzen – the home of Pilsner Beer!
