Today was a much easier day even though I still racked up 22,000
steps. We started with plans of just going for a short stroll in the
neighborhood for a cache and about an hour and a half later we found ourselves
up a very big and steep hill. Along with 4 caches we found a great view of the
city and the river as well as an old basilica (St Peter's and St Paul's). It
apparently was a protestant church according to someone we talked to. It is almost 1000 years old. We spent a couple
of hours exploring there. There was also a cemetery.
We walked down and went for lunch. Beer was around 50 cents for
500 ml. It took about 1 hour for our lunch to be served. At one point I asked
if it was going to come soon and she answered in 8 minutes. I guess everything
is cooked on demand.
After Lunch we realized that we had to climb the hill again, but
it was ok because half way up the stairs there was a cache, so we were able to
catch our breadth.
We made it back to the apartment mid afternoon for a short break
before going to see where we should go for the metro ride to the airport. Our
landlady told us it would be better to take the metro than a taxi because on
Fridays everyone is trying to leave the city.
Supper tonight was bread, cheese, fig, and persimmon along with
the bottle of wine that our travel agent had left for us on the cruise ship. We
hadn't drunk it yet since wine was already included with our meals.
On the lighter side. As much as we are enjoying Prague Ì will not
miss the bathroom in our apartment. The
toilet seat is so high that when I sit down there is about a foot of space
between my feet and the floor. This is not conducive to making a comfortable
position. I now know how a small child who has to sit on an adult toilet feels.
Lol.
