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.
