Homeward Bound

So our adventure is over – we leave tomorrow morning. The last couple of days have been a whirlwind of visiting all the places we were told we shouldn’t miss…

Prague Castle (also grounds and St. Vitus cathedral)

Cathedral from a distance
Old gates – they were a bit shabby back then…
Old organ loft – they’re replacing it (eventually)
Door with 7 locks – all 7 keys are held by different people because this is where they keep the crown
Royal balcony – connected to the palace by a bridge so the royals didn’t have to go outside
3.5 tons of silver…
Another view of the silver pile
Carved map of old Prague
Very simple altar. I think they could’ve dressed it up a bit.
Stained glass window painted by Mucha, a famous Czech artist
The gothic end of the cathedral
The neogothic end of the cathedral (both pics taken from the same spot)
Mosaic over the old main entrance to the cathedral
