When Peeing becomes an international incident-Part 2
Day 2-Czech with a Yorkshire accent
Very, VERY tiring day today. Were you aware that the temperature in Prague reaches 37 degrees? No? Neither were we, will teach us to do our research better in future though, wont it?. This was the day of our walking tour and despite the copious amounts of sun cream applied I still managed to get burnt. I have some very attractive strap marks now, I’ve always wanted stripy shoulders!
Our tour began at Prague Castle, on route to which we passed various bridges (much like the Thames in that respect) including the famous Charles Bridge, a miniature version of the Eiffel Tower (looks more like a large TV aerial) and a giant metronome (No, I don’t know why either) Once we had reached the top of the hill where the castle is situated we followed the tour guides green umbrella through the throng of other tourists, all speaking different languages and melting from the heat. Prague Castle is the largest medieval castle complex in Europe and comprises of the Saint Vitus Cathedral, several palaces, viewing towers, museums, galleries and St Georges basilica. The cathedral is the most impressive out of these buildings, an extremely large gothic building with incredible stain glass windows made up from tiny pieces of coloured glass, the effect with the light shining through was amazing. Now in this cathedral there is the tomb of Duke Wenceslas, aka “Good King Wenceslas” from the Christmas Carol, I didn’t know that he had actually existed. He even has a statue! I’m still waiting to find out if there’s one dedicated to Rudolph the red nose reindeer.
