Another pretty city is Prague but dare I say it – it’s overrun with tourists. Yesterday JB & I “czeched out” (geddit?) Charles Bridge which was choc-o-block with tourists from everywhere you could imagine. Lovely, but too busy for simple folk like us. So we headed into the city and picked up a bargain pair of new “graham hughes” for JB who had been suffering for several days in his sole-less Fila’s.
Today we meandered our way over to Prague Castle which is another impressive piece of architecture. We visited St Vitus Cathedral and then wandered down through Mala Strano through beautiful gardens and over cobblestone pathways (dodging dog-turds which are everywhere!) and into the city.
We’ve seen more dogs in Prague than any other city – this explains the dog-turds I guess – and makes us appreciate how clean Melbourne parks are. Anyway, a few pics from last days in Berlin and these past days in Prague.
