    Change of hotel

    July 11 in Czech Republic ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Today I move to a new hotel, Miss Sophie's Downtown, opposite the grand train station. Today I meet up with the Intrepid cycling group.
    I have a room-mate, Ursi from Switzerland.

    I go for another explore around the Old Town which is closer than before.

    I have a lovely lunch, then see people crowding around the famous Astronomical clock. Crowds gather hourly to watch the procession of the Twelve Apostles from the clock tower. There's a massive crowd.

    It's a Saturday and everyone is out enjoying the sun. They are even tossing a bride!!- hen's party I guess.

    Prague is a city of many types of museums. From the usual to the bizarre - street metal, chocolate, sex machines, torture.

    Tonight we have a meet and greet and welcome dinner. Our 2 guides live in Vienna but Hamish, is a Scottish pom and Lorenz is from Germany. In our group we have 2 Irish (didn't know each other), 2 other Aussies (married couple who did the 2nd leg first!), 2 Swiss (didn't know each other), 1 English, 1 American, 2 Canadians (couple), 2 Kiwis (couple from North Island).
