After the touristic washout that was yesterday, today could only get better! Started with breakfast in the Alton basement. The hotel is 5 floors and I am in 502 on top and over the back rather than over Legerova main street out the front TG. The usual continental selection of cold meats and cheeses that I definitely do not do for brekky. But there were cereals and some fried eggs so had a couple of them on bread etc. Out of the room around noon and headed along to the National Museum which is just down the hill and at the top of Wenceslas Square.

It has been so nice to hear from you all! It is hard only being able to talk to one other person for weeks. We haven't managed to kill each other quite yet. Hopefully that will continue through Friday when I come home! Anyone volunteering to pick up Justin and I from the airport on ... read more
