Europe 2010 - Prague

We started our trip with three and half days in Prague. We accommodation was an apartment near Old Town Square (arranged through Prague Central Apartments), which helpfully included a pickup from the airport.

We also ventured out of the downtown to visit Vyšehrad Castle and the associated Cemetery which overlooks the city a few kilometres upstream. Further upstream from the downtown, we also visited my great aunt.
