Sunday 22 June

We left the hostel to walk to the local metro station, but took the wrong road, and ended up at a station 2km further away. Once in town we went looking for a tourist info centre, but couldn't find one, so all in all a pretty wasted morning.


At 12:30 we met our guide under St Wenceslas' statue, and embarked on a 4 hour walking tour of the city, and as it was 30deg, we ended up pretty pooped. We saw old town, new town, Jewish quarter, lesser town and castle.


We walked across the Charles (4th) bridge, had dumplings for lunch, and lots of drinks. (Czech beer is very cheap and comes in 1/2 litre mugs. We were so hot and tired, it hardly hit the sides).


By the time we got to the castle we'd all had it, but once the guide left, we managed a quick dance through St Vitus' Cathedral, before staggering back to the hostel and collapsing on the bed for an hour.


So now it's time for bed.
