Living in Georgia

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back.

Sunday, our third day in Prague, was spent on the first of our two excursions. We traveled to the Karlstejn Castle, home of King Charles IV.   We took a horse drawn carriage from the bottom of the town up to the bottom of the castle grounds. That's the castle popping up in the back.  Pictures of the town as we made our way up the street. At the base of the castle grounds they let us out of the carriage and we made our way up to the castle entry.  Making our way up... The view was gorgeous from the top! This is looking down on the village through one of the windows from the garden area. I love the curved road you can see they all all along. Its history of more than six hundred years is related to the most loved and renown Czech King and Roman Emperor Charles the IV, who built the place in fear that plague would threaten Prague. He used to keep there the Coronation Jewels and decorated the palace in the fabulous style
