We woke to very fresh and cold weather which definitely wakes you up. Today I used warmer clothes to help with the colder weather. Just on 9 am we set off for Austria and Vienna. It took just over 3 hours to get to Vienna as we watch the beautiful countryside.

Highlights: Trying a local special sweet – trdelnik, Climbing Petrin Hill Tower and observing beautiful Prague
One of the less attractive aspects of travel is laundry. So today after breakfast we set off to a laundromat which took 30 minutes to walk, around 1.5 hours for wash and drying cycles and 30 minutes coming back. So while we lost the morning we still had the afternoon to explore Prague one last time.

Highlights: Cruising the Vltara River, exploring the Jewish Quarter, traversing though Prague Castle, walking of Charles Bridge, enjoying a night of Folklore music
A group of us from the tour organised to purchase a 4 activities package that provided us with 1) a hop on hop off ticket, 2) a river cruise ticket, 3) a walking tour of the Jewish Quarter, and 4) a walking tour of Prague Castle. This turned out to be a very big enjoyable day exploring beautiful Prague and learning it’s history.
