On Thursday, Ashlyn and I woke up early to have a productive day. Luckily she had finished her work, so we took the opportunity to be tourists. We took the funicular to the top of
Petrin Hill to get a nice view of the city. It was pretty overcast and very chilly, but we made the climb up the observation tower (modeled poorly after the Eiffel Tower) anyways. As we suspected, it was a beautiful view of the city and worth the climb.
After freezing our toes off, we got lunch (my first burger in ages) and then went to Old Town Square and climbed up the clock tower. It was almost sunset by the this time so the view of the city was much different. We then went to the Salvador Dali exhibition, which was a great collection of prints, sketches, photographs and sculptures.
We left and wandered around Old Town Square for a bit and went to my new favorite bakery that has 8 koruny pastries (around 40 US cents).

On Friday I took a walk up to Vyšehrad, the old castle, which was a very short walk from Ashlyn's apartment. It was sunset again, so I was happy to get nice pictures of the cathedral, the cemetery, and the view of the river and city.
