Dalibor Tower @ Prague Castle
Contains torture equipment (CIA could learn a trick or two)





The Jewish Museum

Pinkas Synagogue (the names of 80 000 Jews killed during the Holocaust are written on the walls of the Synagogue)



Old Jewish Cemetery
12 000 tombstones and 100 000 bodies are buried in the tiny space (up to 12 levels deep)







The Old New Synagogue (apparently a fine example of Gothic style - at $13 to get in we decided against it)



The exchange rate was a killer so we ate at our apartments some nights. We bought what we thought was peppercorns plus pepper grinder. Turns out it was just peppercorns, no grinder! The old 2 teaspoons trick did the job - just took a little while to crush each corn individually!

For pedestrians



Apparently midday in Czech doesn't mean 12 noon



Lunch on the train from Prague to Berlin . . . . . . . . mmm looks . . . . . tasty?
