GAPP: February 19, 2011 Saturday (Samstag)

Well, today we'll discuss what is Prague (Praha) all about. Prague is one of the most cutest medival and most popular city in Europe; also it is the capital of the Czech Republic and its largest city. Since it was not destroyed in any war - the architecture, buildings, quaint streets are spectacular. Prague will be about a 2-hour ride from Freital, Gemany.

The town grew from a settlement stretching from the Prague Castle in the north to the Vysehrad in the south. This picture is looking at the castle with Charles Bridge in the foreground.

The Prague Castle was started in the year 885ad - can you imagine? Not even I was born then. Remember that the "Bohemian Crown Jewels" are kept here. No there will be no shopping for us with these jewels. This castle is the "largest complex" in the world - even larger than China's Temples. - Tomorrow, maybe we will talk about shopping??
