The train ride from Vienna to Prague was seven hours. Looong. So we listened to audio books, watched shows on the iPad, slept as much as we could and looked out the window.
But we finally made it. :)
Here are a few things we saw.
Here are a few things we saw.
Powder Tower. Built in 1475 under the reign of King Vladislav II Jagiello in case you were wondering.
We went to Old Town Square or Staromestske
The statue of Jan Hus - The Martin Luther of the Czech Republic (Martin Luther as in religious reformation, not African American rights...)
The Clock Town and Astronomical Clock. Hundreds of people gather here every hour on the hour hear the clock chime and statues of the 12 apostles nod their head in approval.
The Church of Our Lady before Tyn
The tower leading to Charles Bridge from Old Town Square
A view of Prague castle from the bridge
A man with a monkey music cart. :)
a little street
The love lock bridge. Lover write or engrave their names and the year on a lock, then attached it to this bridge. How fun!
The Lennon Wall. Very cool.
More of Prague to come!
Oh my goodness. I literally almost started crying when I looked at these photos. I miss it so much. And I love love love the Charles Bridge! We used to go there on weekends sometimes, and we have this picture of my teeny tiny 3 year old sister holding a huge python around her neck with one of the bridge people. We also used to get rolikis there whenever we went into town - amazing delicious individual-sized breads. And I have a really old family picture taken in front of the Prague Castle! Ah! Okay, I'm going to stop reminiscing before I fill up your entire blog. Long story short, I love your pictures!
Love all the pictures. This is making me put Europe on my bucket list when I get close to dying. Not any time soon, I hope!
