Follow the Crowd




The weather is beautiful and sunny, wonderful for exploring the Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral. The castle surrounded the cathedral and was like a small town in itself. The stained glass was so neat with all the light shinning through, giving the church a yellow glow. We found a small café for lunch and made a stop at our favorite chocolate shop before going on the bike tour. The “non-strenuous” tour took us through many parts of the city and over the river. Our guide re-vamped the tour to include a biergarten stop. Unlike Germany, the biergarten was uphill. I couldn’t ride up that steep, so I pushed my biked up the hill. Afterwards, we took a different path down, but that required going down flights of stairs to get down. I am now a pro at bike riding through cars, trains and up curbs! During the tour we saw lots of neat artwork, including a statue that was of two men peeing onto a waiting pool in the shape of the Czech Republic. If you so desire, you can text a message to 420 724370707 and the statue will pee whatever message you send to it.

Again by a recommendation we dined at the Café Slavia for traditional Czech food. A great meal for our last night here. Tomorrow is another early morning to get to Berlin.


We have learned from our wondering that following the crowd usually puts you in the right place. If you go and stop seeing people, then you went the wrong way. So far it hasn't lead us astray!
