Sunday 20/7/08 - Day 17


Today was the team's rest day. We started out with a quick game of volleyball, but our spirits were dampened by the breeze, which made passing impossible. After a leisurely stretching session, the team got ready to go into Prague.

Geoff kindly dropped the team into Prague, before heading off to the Prague zoo. The team and Tori made our way to the castle. Walking to the castle was almost a session in itself. A long walk from the town square, mostly uphill! As we arrived at the castle, we heard the sounds of local musicians in the entrance.

The castle was amazing, really big and old. The team lined up for 50 mins to get inside the cathedral. Inside was beautiful, intricate stained glass windows and paintings throughout. After 10 mins the team had seen enough and broke off to roam the streets of Prague for lunch and some shopping.

The boys went to a pizzeria, and spent the last of their lunch money on gelato at the Milano ice cream shop, distinguished from the others by the chandelier inside. They later headed home on the tram and by chance ended up in Troja!
The girls ate lunch at a little cafe near the Charles Bridge and perused the markets and souvenir shops of Prague. At 4pm we headed back to the accommodation for some rest before dinner.

The Canadians that we met in Augsburg are back in Prague, and came with us to dinner at Del Corso, an Italian restaurant within walking distance from the course.

That's all from Prague.
Tash and Joey
