We started Day 2 with a trip to Prague Castle crossing the Charles bridge. In 1618, more than 100 Protestant nobles marched into the Royal Palace at Prague castle to protest against the succession to the throne of the Hapsburg Archduke Ferdinand. Two Catholic governors appointed by Ferdinand were thrown 50 ft out the window, but survived by landing on a pile of dung. The Catholic believed they survived due to the intervention of angels, however, it might just have been a load of crap.
These are the gates of Prague Castle.
I served as tour guide that day...thank you wonderful travel guide!!
This is the Cathedral inside the castle. It is called St. Vitas's Cathedral. It was truly amazing...but I don't have any pictures from the inside.
Patty and Jake, getting ready to cross the Charles Bridge
Entrance from Old town to Charles Bridge
The bridge had many amazing sculptures. Like many buildings, this crucifix was plated in gold
Yes, we found many Starbucks. We actually stopped at this one because Jake was so excited.
Trying to read up on the history of Prague so I could be an adequate tour guide.
