Here are our little troopers ready for another day in Prague:
We spent the day at Prague Castle, the largest castle in the world. It was built around 880 and is listed in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage register. Besides being the seat of the head of state, it is also an important cultural and historical monument. In Prague Castle are kept the crown jewels, the remains of Czech kings, precious Christian relics, many beautiful works of art and important historical documents.
We were lucky enough to arrive at precisely the same time as what we assumed to be an official state visit, complete with the ceremonial pomp and circumstance:
This is St Vitus Cathedral, historically the religious center of the Czech state:

Enjoying the sunshine and ice cream:
Amazing views of the city from the palace walls: 
Can I just tell you how much I love this town?
