Praha, day 4 – Vyšehrad

6 Jun 2023 – Vyšehrad is an historic fort up on another hill in the Prague city limits built in about the 10th century. Includes the Basilica of St Peter and St Paul, and the Vyšehrad Cemetery, which is the resting place of many of the most famous Czechs – such as Antonio Dvořák, Karel Čapex and Karel Valdauf – a relative and famous polka composer.

Walk back down the hill, then streetcar over to ‘Little town’ to explore some shops and find dinner – more impressive buildings

By this time we have slowed down on pics, since some is the same as before – but we ended the night again in the Sad Man’s Tongue before an early night ahead of tomorrow’s grand adventure.

Praha, day 3 – Pub Crawl

5 Jun 2023 – low key day after all the walking yesterday – and a pub crawl on tap tonight. Slept in a bit then went out to just see the city. Cool art installation at one of the main libraries, and really checked out the main Old Town Square.

Street sausage before pub crawl. Starting place the Cave, on to three others ending at a dance club thumping away until very late. Outlasted the twenty-somethings on the crawl with us though!

After the kids quit, walked back to the hotel to crash ‘early’ (compared to yesterday. Gothic churches are awesome in the dark.
