All went well on our flight across the Atlantic Ocean and we have been enjoying the last 24 hours or so in the beautiful city of Prague. There are many incredible sights and we won't be able to see them all in our short time here.
Next for this afternoon will be the famous Prague Castle. That should take most of the afternoon and then I'm sure there will be some of it that we won't get to. The sun finally seems to be out for good. Europe has had a long spell of cool and rainy weather but the forecast is that the weather will be changing. Hopefully, it will be nice for when we start the bike ride on Monday.
One of the most enjoyable things we did today was to join one of the FREE 3-hour walking tours that are here everywhere. An interesting concept for people who want to earn money (donations accepted) and like to talk and like history. We had a great expatriot American guide and I was amazed at how much I learned in those 3 hours. A lot of it I've heard about in news and school over the years but there's nothing like seeing it firsthand and hearing from someone who has good stories behind all of what you read in the history books.
Later this evening we will go back to the hotel and at 7:00 pm is the agreed upon time that we will meet up with Leo and Gabriele. They are driving in from Leipzig today, staying in the same hotel where we were last night. It will be a short visit with them here. Our train for Bad Schandau leaves at noon tomorrow. But later in the week we will see Leo again, as we are staying with them in Leipzig after the bike ride.
Don't know when I'll get online again but at least you know we made it here and all is going according to plan. Lots of photos to share and will try to get them online soon.
