Czech chill

Sunday is freezing as we board the bus with Andre making jokes about the weather. It's 8 degrees and with the wind chill added it feels about 0! Being pretty crook, I toyed with staying in bed, but needing to keep Gail company, we head off on the tour to the Castle on the hill.
It's exposed position ramps up the chilling wind and the sun disappears as the light rain falls .....or is it sleet? Just the ticket for improving a cold!
Despite this the castle and cathedral are impressive sights. The walk through the old town later leads us to the main square and Astronomical Clock, before I decide that discretion is the better option.
A nice lunch and warming coffee (+wine) we then negotiate the trams back to the hotel for a little rest and organisation.
Dinner in the hotel is best described as interesting and largely inedible. No matter, as we strike up some nice conversations with several Canadians. They're a nice group and the Commonwealth spirit is good as we enjoy a drink and make jokes about Americans. Early to bed for a big drive tomorrow.
