Friday June 22, 2007. Start out Fine, showers from 13.00 onward
Yesterday, we managed to find our way to Wenceslas Square, and had a bite to eat. Today we are doing 'The Grand Tour of Prague', walking for at least 4 hours to get an overview of where we will give more attention. Meeting at the Orloj (Astronomical Clock) on the Staromestske Namesti (Old town Square) our young guide led us on a walk that covers all the most important sights of Prague. Old Town Square, Jewish Quarter, Old-New Synagogue, Old Jewish Cemetery, Jewish Museum, Ungelt Medieval Courtyard, Charles University, Estates Theatre (Amadeus film there, and Don Giovanni first performed there). Crossing over the Charles Bridge to St Nickolas Church, Lesser Town Square, Prague Castle, Old Royal Palace, Basilica of St Geaorg, Presidential Offices, Golden Lane, St Vitus Catherdral, finally a spectacular view of the City of Prague. The view regrefully was not so specatcular, because of the rain, but we now have a good overview of the city and where will return for further investigation. Oh I forgot, had a few 'teddy hugs' photographs taken, I hope my owner get some time to add then here for me. After all the walking he did, with me just riding along in the backpak, he might not add the pics until later. I hope he wants a nice coffee at the internet cafe, so he can download them.
My owner wanted me to mention, that if anyone would like him to send them a copy of their "teddy hugs" photograph, they can email me at agoodmonk@yahoo.com.au and I will make him do it, or download it from the blog page, but he will email a better file if requested.
