Day 309: Prague, Day 5

Today we got off to a bit of a late start again. We had breakfast, but my feet were killing me. So we waited a bit before going to the St. Agnes of Bohemia Convent. We had an Uber take us there; again, it was a success with no problem. At the Convent, they had a special collection from the National Gallery of Bohemian Art from 1300-1600. We spent almost 3 hours perusing over the beautiful sculptures and paintings. Not surprisingly, most of them were religious in nature: Madonna and Child, depictions of Christ, etc. Several were of the execution of St. Barbara.  I'm not sure if we were supposed to take pictures, but we took as many as we could when security staff were not milling around. I bought a couple postcards afterwards.

To save a bit of money, we ended up having dinner at a KFC in a mall. They actually gave us quite a lot more than we bargained for and we couldn't finish it all. We had some frozen yogurt in the mall for dessert: I had pistachio-flavored, but the candies in the yogurt were too hard for me to chew. Perhaps I am getting old. Anyway, after finishing, we got another Uber home--it's worked very well for us here.

In the evening, we just did some packing. Tomorrow will be a travel day; we have a 5:30 pm flight to Paris. Hopefully, there won't be crazy delays as with Ryanair. I already checked us in online, so all we have to do is print out the boarding pass.

All in all, I liked Prague. I think the nicest surprises were the beauty of the city (mainly its architecture) and the kindness of the people (everyone spoke English, no one was rude to us).  It helped that we had great weather.
