Around the World day 8 Prague

This was again mostly a work day, with our breaks for food and wandering around.

The day started thankful that the hotel had breakfast for us (thank you Sheraton Prague). It was a nice place, they took good care of us. We got a nice upgraded room (even better since we paid in points), the room was two stories, living room and full bath on main level, bedroom, full bath and work/desk nook on the upper. I would have preferred more windows so we could SEE Prague from our room and would have preferred that parking wasn’t so expensive ($50/day).

We ventured out for a late lunch, got some yummy mixed grill skewers in a cool basement restaurant. Service was adequate but very very slow.

For our evening break, I was cranky. Work wasn’t going well, I couldn’t get the thing to work the way it was supposed to work so I was frustrated. I needed a break, but I needed the thing to work. We walked over to Old Town Square. There’s a great church tower you can go up. But after all the stairs the day before my knees were laughing at me and the thought of something like that again. Dave insisted there was an elevator. Yea, right, an elevator in a centuries old church to the top of the tower. Does it LOOK like an elevator would be in there?

Well, when we got there (and saw the elevator) I said sure, should be pretty up there. And it was.

On the way back thru the city center to our hotel we stopped and got more of those yummy pastries, and that was dinner.

We started somewhat early, left the hotel by 730am. The drive should have taken about 4.5-5 hours, depending on stops. For the most part it was an uneventful drive. Stopped for snacks now and then, but wanted to arrive in...
