Earlier I was sitting in the gardens below Prague's castle, enjoying the nice view from the hill. A lush green hill supporting transmission towers and the like lay to my right, while the city lay in front and to the left, split by the river before the heart of the old city.

I arrived in Prague yesterday afternoon, but didn't do anything but wander about. It was still nice. It's good to be able to eat comfortably in a resturant on my budget - only 3 euros for dinner, and a half litre of nice beer (e.g. Pilsner Urquell) is only a euro in a nice resturant. Don't know quite why I'm still thinking in euros rather than pounds or Czech Crowns though.

Walking around has been rather tortuous today. The city is full of tour groups being lead by somebody holding an umbrella or similar up high. It's hard to move around, and I really hate the feeling of being trapped between the hordes of bumbling coach-tourists. Still, the city has beautiful architecture in places
