Good morning! 

We started today with a walk along the river to see Fred and Ginger, the dancing buildings. While they are interesting to look at, they are a bit of a shock in how contemporary they look compared to the buildings surrounding. It also has this strange nest structure on the top. We also agreed it kind of looks like a popcorn bucket. 

 We crossed the river again in search of breakfast and stumbled upon a cute restaurant at the foot of the castle. I had scrambled eggs with ham and toast. The eggs were so fresh and light. A great start to the day! 

We climbed about half way up the massive staircase up the side of this hill and found a small art gallery. I bought a silk painting of the river and Charles bridge which I can’t wait to hang up when I get home. We continued up the hill and soon arrived at the castle. The castle is actually more of a camp. It has a main castle but it also has a lot of other buildings within its walls. 

We tried to watch the changing of the guard, but couldn’t see much behind the wall of umbrellas and very tall people who pushed us out of the way. Oh it was raining. Not sure I mentioned that. We bought our tickets to the castle grounds and started our tour in the church. 

We visited a much smaller and simpler church next. 

 After dropping off my art at the hostel we tried to visit a Jewish museum, but we would have had to buy a whole pass and couldn’t get tickets for that specific museum. Which was a major bummer. We also tried to visit another church but it was closed. Maddening I tell you. 

We did some shopping to replenish our clothes because at this point I am sick of everything and never want to wear it again. 

We had dinner at another place off the main drag and returned to the hostel to pack and sleep. 

Tomorrow is a travel day to Berlin!
