So this post is slightly out of order. On Wednesday morning the teams and parents where given a wonderful walking tour of Prague Castle (Prazsky Hrad), which now houses many of the Czech Republic's government offices. Guinness lists Prague Castle as the largest of the ancient castles with an area of almost 70,000 square metres. St Vitus Cathedral is one the most recognizable structures of Prague Castle.
The Charles Bridge is another beautiful and very recognizable landmark of Prague. Construction began in 1357 and once completed, the Charles Bridge remained the only the bridge crossing the Vitava River until 1841. It is now pedestrian only and is a wonderful experience, with amazing views of the city. The bridge is decorated with 30 statues at regularly spaced intervals across the river.
We all had the opportunity to explore and shop through Prague's Old Town district. Some of us even ventured back during the evening to see the Old Town and Charles Bridge at night.
