Our last day in Prague, we finally got up to Prague Castle (“castle” just means official-type buildings behind an enclosed wall) and did the cathedral tour and everything.


Of course we sang the Christmas carol at Good King Wenceslas’s tomb, like dumb tourists. I mean, you just have to, right? And all the stained glass — whoa.

There has been a church on this site since the 10th century. The current St. Vitus Cathedral was started in the 1300s and finished in the 1920s. Persistence!
We are glad we did some of these must-see things, but I have to say, the thing Prague does best (besides awesome playgrounds everywhere)




is public art. There are some pretty cool statues and monuments and plaques and memorials just around the city.






And now we’re off to Germany to figure out the next 8 months (at least) of our lives! Eeeek! Wonder what will be the best things there??

*And I realized I didn’t do a very good job describing the awesomeness of the water park in my last post. So I went back and added some details and slide descriptions. You can go back to it if you’re curious to know more about it.
What an amazing city! And of course I looked at your further descriptions. That chocolate drop thing sounds scary!
Bill and Maggie did it. I declined. Bill is disappointed in me, but I didn’t lose a contact lens all day – why tempt fate?!
We have been on similar “chocolate drop” water slides ….so fun! I can totally relate to this water slide adventure land….we have experienced many of these types BUT not all at one facility. What a bonanza of fun!!!
