Day 2 - Palaces and Radium

Morning spent - once I had dragged myself away from the pancakes - in the Royal Palace.  Best thing: statue of Chronos with clock / globe on his back. 

We then made it to a 25-minute organ concert in the cathedral of St. Jana, including Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor.  Still feeling guilty about the pancakes, so had salady lunch in the Old Town Square - complimentary glasses of cherry vodka as digestifs.  Then on to the Marie Curie Museum.  What an incredible female role model and general superstar!  All those physics conferences in which she was the only woman.  When the First World War broke out, she organised mobile radiology stations at the front, thereby saving the limbs of thousands of soldiers - and she later wrote a book called La Radiologie et la guerre.
