Day 26 - Last day in Prague

Today is our last full day in Prague. We all head home tomorrow via 3 different routes with me leaving the earliest on a 6AM flight to Frankfurt and a 10AM flight to Vancouver. Once in Vancouver I will pick up my truck and catch the ferry so I will be home tomorrow night. For my last day I wandered up to the monastery and Prague Castle via the funicular. I indulged in few of my favourite Czech foods and drink since it is my last chance. I chilled out in the apt in the afternoon and then we had an early dinner with Ron and Carol at a famous restaurant that just happened to be near our flat.

A concert hall, I missed the opportunity to take in a concert but maybe next time.

The funicular that took up the hillside.

Acute bronze statue at the castle hotel.

Prague castle with St Vitus church in behind.

On the square in front of the castle were several vendors including this one selling Czech food.

A blacksmith was also set up in the square.

A view of the monastery as I descend from the castle.

The Czech Republic is known for its leaded crystal.

Classically patterns tend to be very ornate.

One more photo of the astronomical clock.

Our dinner location. A famous hotel landmark in Prague. Built in the early 1900s it was a location where the well healed of Prague ate until WWII. During the war it was a favourite location for ranking Germans so the locals boycotted it. After the war it regained its prominence and is not renovated to its previous glory and has a chef who is considered the Gordon Ramsay of the Czech Republic.

My classic Czech dinner of braised beef in a creamed gravy with dumplings. Today’s food was all things Czech.
