PragueDay 2.1

The guided walking tour took us down the hill via many many steps till we reached the river and the famous Charles bridge crowded with tourists. The bridge has many statues, but one in particular has a power that if you rub it, you will return to Prague. Peggy and I have both rubbed it previously when we visited Prague separately, so there you have it --- it works.

Prague Day 2

This morning we took a bus up to the Prague Castle on the top of the hill overlooking the old city.  This is where the Royalty lived in the old days, looking down on the common folks. Beautiful buildings.

For some reason I'm having trouble doing a long blog. So, I will try doing a series of short ones, and see how that works. 

Prague Day 1.2

Here are the pictures that somehow disappeared from the previous blog.

Prague Day 1.1

Oops I forgot to introduce the Markland 5 in the last post. The group consists of Doug & Melanie Heenan, Karen Gaiger, and George & Peggy Torrance.

The pork hocks last night looked so delicious in the rotisserie out front of the "U Supa" restaurant that we all ordered them. They fully met our expectations.

The restaurant itself was quite impressive. It was a gorgeous high-ceiling large room in a heritage building from 1431. And the musicians came and played "The beer barrel polka" right at our table. 

WiFi here is weak, so I'll post this for now.  

GOOD MORNING VIETNAM!!!!

We're here, exhausted but happy. Yes, that mountain of luggage behind us is all ours.

In no time at all the girls had discovered a shopping street.

The main square in Prague Old Town (Wenceslaus) has a famous old clock that animates every hour on the hour. Of course we had to wait at a beer garden to see the action.

OK, off to dinner of pork hocks now. -- yummy.
