Prague

Prague is quite a beautiful city. It is full of medieval architecture and Ars Noveau style buildings. It is also a city full of culture and so many famous musicians and artists have influenced Praha. We have been staying in the Dizzy Daisy Hostel close to the Moldoua River. A quaint Parisian style cafe is near the hostel and every morning we have dined there with great enjoyment. These are the highlites of what I saw in Praha.
-St. Charle's Bridge-built in the 13th century is fun to walk across. There are so many statues of saints on it.
-The Lobkowizcky Palace-sits on top of a hill overlooking the Moldoua River. Inside the palace is an amazing collection of art and history. I saw Beethoven's original scores for his 3rd, 4th, and 5th symphonies as they were dedicated to the Prince Lobkowizcky. Mozart and Hayden were also connected to the Palace.
-Mucha Museum-Alphonse Mucha influenced Praha so much and his art helped the Czeck people.
-Dvorak's birthplace
-Wandering the streets looking at the amazing buildings.

Prague is great, but it is not my favourilite city. Personally Budapest still sticks out in my mind.

Neheloves Castle

Today Keena, Monica and I took a little train trip to Neheloves to see the birthplace of Antonin Dvorak and see a Renaissance Castle. It was a nice trip. Sadly the house of Dvorak's birthplace was closed. The castle was interesting. There were many beautiful paintings and chests with amazing inlayand paintings as well as so many guns and trophies from hunting. Hunting was pretty important to the nobility as it provided food for their household and trained them for war.

When we came back into Praha we walked around Old Town in the Jewish Quarter and saw the famous Astronomical Clock. Then we decided to take the subway to another castle Vysehad. That has lovely views of Prague and we watched the sunset.
