On my second, and only full, day in Prague it rained. And I got lost - a few times, so I had to make a decision between going to the park and going to the castle.
Obviously, I chose the castle.
The gardens/parks surrounding Prague Castle are not only beautiful, they are huge. This meant there were a lot of muddy hills to climb. I did a lot of sliding around the hills, but luckily no falling.
There was also a ghost tunnel in the gardens, which was really cool. (I don't think it was really a ghost tunnel, but if I were a ghost, that's where I would hang out.)
I even got to explore the Lobkowicz's Palace, which was the setting of the weird book I read. Even though it was weird (I know that that is the third time I've used that word to describe this book, but if you had read it, you would feel that it was justified) it was still really cool to be transported into the setting of the book. Plus, one of the Lobkowicz Princes had been a patron of Beethoven, so not only did they have original compositions by him, he had actually played and been in the rooms I was walking through. It was such a cool experience, and I wasn't even on any drugs. (That was the whole premise of the book - taking drugs to feel Beethoven's presence.)
In conclusion, Prague is awesome.
