Being up so early for Charles Bridge gave us a headstart for the rest of the day and after having a good hearty breakfast from the stalls of St Wenceslas' square (known as 'street meat'), we headed to Prague castle. It was beautiful and, because it was before 9am, without many people. We wandered around looking at all the beautiful buildings of the Cathedral and the Royal Palace. These 16th century cottages on Golden lane were built for the marksmen and guards of the castle. Later the castle goldsmiths lived and worked here - hence the name - Golden lane.
Exploring is exhausting work especially when you get up at 4 in the morning, so home for a quick nap. In the evening we headed back out for a concert in the Klementium, one of the churches in town. Great music in a beautiful baroque setting. *Mush
