This is our first full day in Prague, and the weather is beautiful. This morning we followed a well-informed guide through the Old Town (conveniently close to our hotel) and finished the tour with a visit to the Museum of Communism.
We're ahead of most others on the trip in terms of recovering from jet lag, because we landed in Europe Sunday the 1st. Recovering from the visit to Holland takes a little longer - Dutch hospitality is something else!
We arrived in time to celebrate the birthdays of both our hosts. Birthdays are a major occasion in Holland, and these were no exception. For two days a steady stream of family and friends came to bring cards, presents and good wishes, and to stay for food and conversation. Lucky us - food included special treats such as New Herring (sorry, all you Scandinavians - New Herring puts pickled herring in the shade) and white asparagus, and cakes and pastries of all sorts.
