Prague Castle

I went with Mike to help sort out a 10000km check for the Peugot, a requirement for the Eurolease. I’m amazed at how good these kids are driving around in strange cities and understanding and making themselves understood in a non-english speaking city. Imagine finding the address of the Peugot dealership in Prague, actually finding the premises, explaining what is required, booking in and getting the work done. I must admit we had a little help from some English speaking Czechs.
Took two hours sorting the car then with Mike’s friend Julia headed by tram back into Prague to the Castle, Cathedral and Bridge. The highlight was the climbing of the tower in the cathedral. All 287 spiraling steps to the top with no ventilation, and literally thousands of tourists going both up and down. The views from the top were great, all over Prague and worth the climb.
With time running out it was a rush through the narrow streets and ever increasing numbers of tourists over the famous Charles Bridge, back to the tram stop and to the kayak site to video the boys training session. We are managing the public transport system pretty well now and were back only 5 minutes late.
The atmosphere at the course continues to grow with more teams taking advantage of the free training slots and the stands etc being erected.
A full day was had in the Prague heat so we were relieved to get back to our relatively cool apartment and crash until the next day.
