Good King Wenceslas


We had an excellent meal at a little pub recommended by one of the hotel staff. Good food, well cooked, large portions and excellent beer; the only down side was that smoking is still allowed in restaurants here so it was quite smoky. We quickly finished our meal and raced back to the church to secure seats shortly before the performance began. It was a lovely concert with only an organist, a trumpeter and an opera singer. It featured three different Ave Maria's and had a special Christmas encore of Silent night in Czech. After the concert we wandered along the river to a nice cafe/diner for cake and hot chocolate both of which were way too rich and I couldn't finish mine. Then we walked all over the city visiting Wenceslas square and the statue of Good King Wenceslas. We tried navigating by using the spires we could see but there are so many that we got quite lost. We finally managed to find our way to the famous astrological clock and slowly made our way back to the hotel from there.
