Prague Castle




Having now seen a few castles you start to compare them in some ways. One thing that seemed different was the guards when compared with something like Windsor castle. The guards at Windsor castle looked very stately, and the guards at Prague Castle looked very military. We were able to catch the changing of the guards it is quite a site. Within the castle area there is a town within the walls. Without a doubt, I think we have run into the narrowest streets and smallest old houses that we have seen so far. It is hard to even imagine life here 1000 years ago. The wood floors and stone streets are amazing how they are able to stand up for that long. Wonder who is paying for all of the repairs to all of these old buildings. Is that why they make you pay for the toilet all the time: 9 times 5 Czech krouns. Wonder if they did that before the wall came down.
