Today is our last day (and only until 11:00) in Prague.
We had a great day yesterday wandering through the Old Town. We did manage to get lost a few times (even with map in hand) but we managed to find our way back on track each time (even if there were a few cases of "haven't we been here already")
I discovered the hard way that the files on my camera are huge and take forever to upload (hence the few photos yesterday). We started taking other photos on my phone so they will be the ones (if any) that we upload.
Worst Terrain Update : Wet Cobblestones... any direction
We spent a most of the morning in the Jewish Quarter going to the Spanish Synagog, some of the Jewish museums and the Cemetery. We braved Charles Bridge again but with the rain it was not very crowded. My only disappointment was the fact you couldn't take any photos in any of the beautiful Jewish buildings.
We even managed to find a non tourist place to eat lunch at the Country Life Cafe. We had to "Bus our own tray" but at least the food was good and cheap.
Our highlight for the day was the Czech Cubism Museum, with afternoon tea in the Grand Orient Cafe. The weather didn't do much to dampen the day and it was a wonderful end to our Prague stay with a trip to the castle to overlook the city at night one last time.

Make sure you get to the Parc Guell in Barcelona, which is far far cooler than La Segrada Familia. Also funnily enough the site of the Olympics is really groovy and gives a great view of the city if you have access to a car.
Also you should try and get to Bilbao Berria in the Old Town near the Cathedral; it's a Basque Pintxos place (kind of like Tapas but bigger... and Basque). Works sort of like Sushi train, pay for the sticks that were in each item at the end.
Prague, the European City of Culture, was one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. We started our visit in Prague in a beautiful park, which brought us to the top of the hill from where Stalin once protected the whole city. Going down we entered the gate of Belvedere Castle, surrounded by incredible promenade parks, where, hundred years ago, all the ladies of the high society drunk their tea and admired the lovely flowers and the remarkable Singing Fountain. Our trip was also very good, because we enjoyed our Prague accommodation, major Prague hotels and chains have diversified the lodging options they offer, such as full-service hotels, suites, and extended-stay options. Upscale shops and amenities may be used to attract business.
