In the morning, we found ourselves lethargic.
Eurotrip was on, so we lounged around until late morning watching that. Afterward, we headed down to Vsyehrad, the fortress that overlooks the Danube. We found a cute little spot to eat some lunch, and enjoyed walking around, but there wasn't a lot to see. The views were very nice, and someone was playing (practicing?) organ music in the church, so we stopped and listened for a while.
We also saw about the cutest little playground ever.
We descended the riverside of fortress, and hopped a tram along the water.
Next up on the agenda was the National Gallery, which houses 14th-18th century artwork. Across the way were some nice buildings with some cool fake texture. We've seen a lot of art this trip, but Josh figured it'd be different farther North. It is, and the museum had some nice stuff. We especially liked the "Still Life With Monkeys." Because everything is better with monkeys, especially paintings of fruit.
We were right next to the Prague Castle, but it was late, so we headed home via the touristy old stone bridge. It's nice, and
packed with people.
On our way back, we also stopped in at the Old Town Square, just missing the hourly clockworks. The clock was very nice, and the square was really busy. Looks to me like maybe some of the engineers escaped after building the astronomical clock we saw in Venice.
Speaking of the square being a bit of a madhouse, catch a load of this bicycle bar!
We ate homemade pasta for dinner, fusilli with eggplant, tomato, onion, and garlic -- Mary's turn this time. Kitchens are great.
