Prague Castle

A cold, rainy, bluster day. Prague Castle and the Cathdral of St. Vitus.

The Castle regally stands with a great view of the city below.

The detail. Such great craftsmanship.

We did not stop to see the Crown jewels as the line was long. We did get to see the changing of the guard.

The cathedral construction started in 1344!, it was paused in 1419 and finally completed in 1929.

The stained glass was gorgeous. Photos do not do them justice.

The memorials and small chapels were over the top. No wonder 80% of Prague are not churchgoers. Opulence while the masses starved.

While the Cathedrals of Prague are stunning and definitely worth seeing, there was something a bit poignant about the class distinction.

As we left, we peeked into the garden. Even in September, peaceful and lovely.

The evening was open and nearby wanderings brought me to this lovely little restaurant with the most satiating Gin and Tonic. A few nights later, the knowledge was shared with fellow travellers. Those who know me shall not be surprised that we got turned around on the way back to the hotel. Must have been the Gin.
