Low Key Day (Here)

It was cool and overcast today with 100% chance of rain which apparently turned into 0 chance. We had a slow start  because of  acute jet lag. We walked to the National Museum but didn't want to see it; there are actually 5 separate buildings of different types of exhibits but it's a natural history museum and we weren't particularly interested in the history of book-making or the money exhibit which were listed as top attractions.. I'm sure some of the exhibits are great but it seemed like it would be too much effort to figure out which ones and also where all the buildings are. So basically, by 2:00, our achievements consisted of having eaten two meals. 

We had booked a boat tour at 3 so Caitlin could join us and we sat on the top deck of a boat and saw the major sites from a different perspective. For many of the buildings, you have to be in the middle of the river to get a shot of the entire structure.  

Charles Bridge

Some pretty building

On the walk back from the boat, we strolled through an outdoor market with various vendors selling food and crafts. The entertainment in the area was a group of South Americans dressed as Native Americans playing music that sounded like a mixture of styles. It was pleasant music but we weren't tempted to buy the cd.

We ate dinner at the same restaurant we went to the first night we were here; it's half a block away and the food is great. We had the traditional Czech Italian fare and apple strudel for dessert.  

In summary, we discovered that it's easy to find your way if you always stay on the same street or take a local with you.  More efficient than our usual routine, but not near the same amount of exercise.
