Day 156 Castle Time

IMG_3042

Today I trekked up to Prague castle to see what other travelers were arguing about last night at the hostel. Some loved it, some thought it was overrated. Eh, can't win em' all. I was fine with the whole castle thing. I got a bit confused at first and went to a monestaray that wasn't so cool. Like two dollars to enter but ten dollars to use a camera? Really? I took one shot just because that was so stupid.

Then I continued onto the main event. The castle. I stupidly thought I was running late and had to buy a ticket immediately. So I did. I bought a ticket for what turned out to be all the boring parts. The most interesting and only free part of the place was the Church. Super Fail. It's okay I guess. The stain glass was amazing and abundant and it was a nice caper to my night of wandering. Back to the hostel for happy hour I go as everything is closing around me.....

Beautiful stained glass in the chapel

On my walk back to the trolley I passed through the center of town and stopped to admire the Astronomical Clock. This is the meeting place of what seems to be every single tour in Prague. Always a crowd.
