Our Saturday consisted of a walking tour of Prague, courtesy of John. Thankfully, the rain had cleared and we had fine weather for it. We started out with a trip to the Wallenstien Garden that has this bizarre dripping, oozing wall (double click on the photo to get to see this one in our photo album in Flickr.com) . Not sure of the significance of this. We continued up through the labyrinth of alleys and streets passed the castle and the monastery, and up onto Petrin Hill. On top, there is this mini Eiffel Tower structure, this one with only 287 steps. From here, there was a 360 deg panorama of the city. This view shows the downtown core, with Charles Bridge over the Vltava River, and Tyn Church visible.
Our next stop was the Mirror Maze also in our photo album, good for more than a few laughs. Another interesting structure was the Dancing Building, supposed to depict a couple dancing - what do you think?
And of course, in a country where the beer is literally cheaper than water, our next stop was a big beer hall called U Flecku for some pints and sausages!!! A good way to end the afternoon and usher in a good party evening that ended with some street meat in Wenceslas Square. *Stub
