Blimey, did we sleep well?
Littlun and I got up and went for a little run to explore a bit more and visit the rather excellent-looking bakery that we had spotted yesterday. We headed left from our apartment and ran along the banks of the Vltava, and came across this amazing building...
I know, rather unusual, isn't it? Known colloquially as the Dancing house, or the Fred and Ginger building, it even has its own wiki page...
More lovely architecture, and we found our breakfast, and even managed to run back with it and not eat it all on the way!

Breakfast consumed we then walked to the incredible Museum of Illusions
And then we headed towards Wencesklas Square, which unfortunately was a very large and noisy building site, so we didn't stop for long... but headed towards the old town square, stopping at a market to get some lunch, and eventually getting to the Astronomical Clock. We'd just missed the hour, so had a while to wait, and decided to duck into the Grand Hotel for a coffee, where we had the most amazing cakes and a brilliant view of the clock.
More walking after the next performance by the clock, this time around the Jewish quarter, but slightly hampered by the cold rain that started to fall, we headed back to the banks of the river and, what a disaster, found ourselves at a river-side bar watching the sun go down over the castle and the river.
Fortified by Staropramen, we headed back to the apartment for left-over pizza!
