We had a morning walking tour of the Jewish quarter in Prague. The Jewish ghetto was established in the 14th century. We visited 4 synagogues but only 2 are currently in use as a religious building. The Old New Synagogue dates back to 1270.
The Jewish museum which is actually the various synagogues and cemetery was closed during the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia around 1968. After the reunification it was reopened around 1994.
The cemetery is 350 years old and our guide told us that there are 12 layers of graves. We saw many headstones but most were so old and worn no names or dates were visible.
When we returned to the hotel, we got on buses to be transferred to our ship in Decín. However when we got to Decín we kept going. Apparently the river is too low for our boat to get here so we were bused to the next port (only 15 miles) to get to our boat.
