The weather continued it's brilliant sunny form as Rick and Jas visited Yet Another Castle. They explored Prague Castle, situated just behind their accommodation. From the ground it didn't seem to be a castle, as much of the walls weren't visible and it didn't have the typical turrets one normally finds on a medieval castle. The castle sprawls over a large area, containing the huge St Vitus' Cathedral, a chapel, the Royal Palace, St George's Basilica, and several gorgeous gardens. They climbed the cathedral's belfry, much to Jas' enjoyment, after all the hills and steps they'd climbed over the weekend. The young chap at the entrance cracked up at Jas' expression when she read how many steps there were to the top (500+). But it was worth it.
The rest of the afternoon was spent killing time until the evening flight. They did this in a highly relaxed manner, sauntering about, buying a few more bits of memorabilia (including a fetching sugar bowl) and having a last supper to fill their bellies before our flight.
All of the stag and hens groups were returning on the same flight, but thankfully their seats were up front in cleaner air.
