So after 3 days of trying to visit Prague Castle, I can finally check it off my list. A wise old Irish lady [with hairs growing out of her chin] once told me not to make plans because life always changes anyways. And she was right! My first attempt at visiting the castle was thwarted by a late start and amazing Moravian wine at a local wine cellar. It made for a fun day all the same though! Attempt 2 to thoroughly see the castle came closer to accomplishing the goal. However, renting the paddle boat on the Vltava River slowed us down enough, that by the time we made it to the compound most of the buildings were closed. Still a great way to spend the day. This was also the day I tried the traditional drink of Czech - Slivovice - a plum vodka. Not the tastiest, but it gets the job done. :) I also got to wander around the Jewish Quarter yesterday so I did accomplish another To Do. Third times a charm! and I made the final visit to Prague Castle today where I finished admiring the sites I had missed the first two times. St. Vitus's cathedral was the highlight of the day!
