Tuesday 24 June

Today we bought a 24hr transport ticket, and more-or-less retraced our walking tour, looking at things in more detail. We joined a huge crowd of tourists at the Astronomical Clock for its 11am striking, with 12 apostles processing past the open windows.


After lunch we caught the funicular railway up the hill for a different view of the city.


By now, the blisters I began acquiring on Monday were really causing trouble, and I didn't want to walk much more.


We went back to the hostel for a nanna-nap, then back up to the castle for an orchestral concert. The playing was good, but it was really an 11 piece string ensemble, and they played a lot of very abbreviated arrangements, so it was all over in less than an hour.


We walked and walked, trying to find a reasonably priced restaurant selling Czech food, and finally ate at 9pm. It was just getting dark when we finished, so we found a nice spot by the river for photos, and got home at about 11.30.
