Prague- Day 2

This morning after breakfast we went to the castle. It was pretty expensive and we got an audio guide which wasn't really worth it but I liked walking around. There's a palace and a really famous cathedral (St. Vitus's Cathedral) and a little village kind of thing. Here are a few pictures from that.

Nice view of the city:

St. Vitus's Cathedral:

The Defenestration Window (that they threw people out of)

Kafka lived here for awhile:

Inside St. Vitus's Cathedral:

After the castle we walked through the city a bit to Petrin Hill, a big hill in the middle of the city. We hiked up to the top of it where we climbed to the top of the observation tower for some great views.

View from Petrin Hill observation tower:

Dustin, Alex and I on the observation tower:

We hiked back down, then crossed the river to see "The Dancing Building". It's famous, but I forget the name of the architect. The area around there is really beautiful too.

Then we went back across the river to see the Lenin wall, which was pretty interesting, then we got bratwurst again for lunch.

Lenin Wall:
There was still some time before Alex and Dustin had to catch their train so we went back to Old Town Square. We got Pikle (I think that's what they were called), an awesome dessert that were just like chocolate con churros (that we got in Spain) but the "churros" were rolled in cinnamon. Sooo awesome. We ate that while we watched a crazy street show. I'm so glad we were here around Easter, there's so much cool stuff going on. Although that street show was pretty insane, Ill upload a video of it when its working.

Alex and Dustin left after that. I did some shopping, some planning, and some photo uploading. I was going to go to a concert tonight but decided to save the money. Tomorrow I'm going hiking in the Prachov Rocks and it's going to be amazing!
