Arthur went on the Prague City Tour this morning, but Martha was too sick with a cold to go. The tour took subways into the Stare Mesto (the Old Town). They watched the famous 15th century astronomical clock at the Old Town Hall strike the hour. Christ and the 12 Apostles appear at two windows above the clock face, followed by the skeleton of Death tolling the bell.

They also stopped at the Rott Crystal shop for a demonstration of how fine Bohemian glassware is produced.
