Mon 11 Aug- Prague tour

Mon 11 Aug- We got up early to enjoy our included buffet breakfast (Hilton has a great spread, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as bread and pastry, cereals, juices and hot selections.
We then went on a walking tour of Prague: first the Prague Castle, the St. Vitus cathedral, the royal palace of Maria Theresa, and a nice view of the city. Then we walked through the (former) Jewish quarter (apparently there are not many Jews left in Prague), then to Old Town Square with its astronomical clock, which we watched (with about a thousand other tourists) strike noon.
We were on our own for lunch, so Kiyomi noticed the 'Sushi House', and got a longing for a Japanese lunch. We had Sashimi, maki sushi (California Rolls and others), avocado salmon, and Pilsner Urquell. Total cost was Kc 860, about $52.
