Prague Castle


Our first morning in Prague, we went to the Prague Castle, and per Rick Steves' advice, we got to the St. Vitus Cathedral right when it opened at 9am.  This was great in terms of not having to weave through tour groups, and we essentially had the cathedral to ourselves.  The cathedral is huge and full of everything you'd expect in a Catholic cathedral (gold, silver, etc.)

 
Me in St. Vitus Cathedral, right before we left.
(You can see how empty it is even after we left.)

 The only thing that slowed us down while checking out the cathedral was Sarah having to stop for a little time in the confessional.
(She wouldn't tell me what it was about, so when you talk to her, see if you can find out for me.)

Following another piece of Rick Steves' instruction, we found these bathroom windows that look at each other.
So, like tourists, we took pictures of each other from the bathroom window.  Thanks, Rick Steves.

 
After checking out the bathrooms in the Royal Palace, we stopped by the main hall, which was used for jousting back in the day, and was later used as the meeting place of their parliament until just a few years ago.
(Pictures aren't allowed, so if anyone asks, I got this online.)

 
Our last stop at the castle was taking a picture of the castle guards.
Since Sarah wouldn't imitate them, I tried my best to.
