Forget everything ... Prague is stunning

Today we left Zurich on a beautiful sunny day and arrived in Prague just after lunch. We didn't know what to expect, but good friends (Karl and Jane) suggested we had to stay there for a few days. It's gorgeous and we instantly fell in love with the city. That combined with a fantastic boutique hotel I discovered on-line which turned out to be even better than the web site images. (Hotel Residence Agnes) A distinct contrast to our Zurich hotel and for less than half the price!

It's a lovely mix of Paris and the best parts of Rome plus something else. We walked for about two hours after we arrived - see  the pics below of the things we came across. The weather was beautiful - warm and sunny. 

Tomorrow we head off on a six hour walking tour starting at the Castle and then working our way down into the old city.
