Prague - days 3 and 4

Yesterday was another fantastic day here. I started by making my way to the Old Town Square again to check out the inside of the Tyn Church and also climbed to the top of the tower at Old Town Hall. The views were amazing up there. Well worth the climb.

After that I walked to the National Museum. I would say that it is similar to our Museum of Natural History...not quite the same though. There was an exhibit that covered the history of the Czech Republic that went through to post WWII life in the country. Very interesting. In addition, there was an exhibit on Europe as the center of science. One of the main parts of this section was on the development of medical science and most of it was devoted to child birth and the tools and various teaching devices used. Very odd stuff. There was also a video playing of what I first thought was surgery, but upon second glance I realized it was the Czech version of the Miracle of Life video they showed us in junior high school. I must say that I was surprised to see this playing in a museum.

After that I grabbed a late lunch, rested and went back out for a stroll at night. I was completely exhausted.

Today was an easy paced morning, with just a walk up to the Franz Kafka museum...checked out a book shop, grabbed an espresso (third of the day) and read a book. Made my way back to the hotel...did some last minute shopping (yes, I bought shoes).

My taxi picks me up in 30 minutes for the airport and I will be on my way back to Budapest. I am hoping Adam just wants to chill tonight because the constant walking has taken its toll of my feet.

He booked our hotel in Vienna last night...sounds like a decent place and is expensive enough. We stay there for three nights and once I get back to Budapest I will have a few hours before I depart for the airport and home.

Hope you are all doing well and I look forward to catching up when I return.

Talk soon.
