Last Day in Prague

Today was our last full day in Prague and tomorrow we leave mid-day for Vienna. I might try to go see the battlements tomorrow morning if I get ambitious. Im also going to try and find this hotdog vendor who apparently has the best hotdogs in town. We'll see how well I do.

Today Steve, Brenton and I walked all the way back to the Prague Castle area and first went into St. Nick's Church, which Steve and I had not gone into a few days ago. But it was completely worth the 35 crown entrance fee. The inside was gorgeous, with high ceilings and tons of gold plated statues everywhere. There were some relics (which have now become one of my favorite things to see) but they were of saints I've never heard of. Lots of marble statues and intricate everything...too hard to describe, you'll have to wait for pictures. From there it was on to Loreta church to see the Prague Sun and Santa Casa. That was a bit of a let-down. Santa Casa had no signs indicating it as such, but by the end of our tour there we assumed it was the brick building inside a marble building (which had tons of statues on the outside). The Prague Sun was very pretty (we couldn't take pictures, so google it if you want to know what I mean), but after the treasury of the Residence Museum in Munich it paled in comparison. Pretty stuff there, but not worth the 90 crowns to get in.

Tonight I have done my laundry in an actual washer and dryer (huzzah!!) and we made another meal of pasta from the grocery store. My few crowns that I have left I'm going to use for potential excellent hotdogs tomorrow. Unfortunately a good part of today was rainy, so not a nice day to walk around and say goodbye to Prague. But at least the weather reports from Vienna look good, we may even see the temperature go into the 80's!
