Coffee in bed, two days in a row. Zak must love me or something

Today we walked. Martin took us around, up, over and back down through town today. We saw lots of tourists, the castle, catedral, a beautiful park and then another one, a sculpture inspired by Kafka and some assholes on Segways. Or whatever they're called, ha! We heckled them as they "rode" by. 
By the end of the day Zak complained his feet were bleeding. 
I reckon he was exaggerating.

Sure not to miss our tour guide, Martin is the tall guy with the camera. As you may or may not know, I am the one with the short goat legs and found it quite useful to follow someone tall, as the crowds got thick at times.

The Catedral in Praha castle has a window made by Mucha. Another quite beautiful one by  Libensky.

We also found a wood relief carving of Praha, from c.1600 (maybe?) - old anyhow! On it we found the place that we are lucky enough to be resting our heads at, courteous Stepon. 
X Marks the spot. 

And if the day weren't special enough, we met up with Jiri who brought his wife Zdena who Zak and I met for the first time. A beautiful woman with a good sense of humor. We walked through a park, over two bridges towards the zoo then back again to a gallery down a dirt road. There we saw the work of an artist who makes the imagery for coins, medallions and stamps. An old friend of Jiri.

Still no sign of any squirrels. Tomorrow will be the day. I can feel it.
