There are some cities that you must go and see. Prague dates back 1,100 years, with the first foundations laid in 885. Most of what you see here was built before Columbus discovered America!
Actually, this is an issue for me. Lief Ericson travelled around Greenland and Nova scotia about 500 years before Columbus was even born, but he was Norwegian, so nobody was particularly bothered, it seems.
Anyway, back to the tour. Prague is so heavily saturated in culture it would be impossible to experience it all in a day. No visit would be complete without a visit to the castle or old town square. I managed to get along to see the impressive Astronomical Clock, which dates from 1410 and is on the south wall of the old town hall. The clock ‘s function covers so much information you should take a look here.

The weather is now very poor and incredibly cold, so I am going to have to skip most of it before lunch and venture south to finish the day in Budapest. Tomorrow I have to travel pretty much all day, as I worked out that I have been doing less miles than I need to.
