Fun in Prague (2)

Here are some more of my favourite memories of Prague. I hope you have as much fun looking at the photos as Fred and I did being in them.

We found this beautifully-colourful synagogue in the Jewish Quarter.

This is a medieval Jewish cemetery. The gravestones were higgledy-piggledy;
it was very quiet and made me feel sad.

Posing (again) on Charles Bridge.
Just a couple of lads out on the town in Prague.

Look what we found!
This is Prague's narrowest street.
Only one person at a time can fit in it so there are traffic lights at each end.

Can you see the traffic light above Fred's head?
It was such fun. This is our size street!

He doesn't look impressed with us, does he?

Lunch was very welcome after a busy morning.

Yellow penguins, who knew?
(It looks like I've sprouted green antlers....)

Tree climbing!

Hiding from Herself on one of the many bridges.

Bubbles!

Posing in front of the National Museum.

Trying to look like that bloke on the horse.
I am victorious Captain Scamper.

Sunset.

We were ready to collapse after our busy day sightseeing.

Fun in Prague (1)

Prague is full of cobbled streets and magnificent buildings. I loved the river with its many bridges, including the Charles Bridge. Here are some of my favourite sights.

This is the River Vltava.
You can just see Prague Castle (pointy towers) in the background.

Old Town Bridge Tower leading onto Charles Bridge.
Did you know Heath Ledger rode over this bridge in A Knight's Tale?

Posing on Charles Bridge.
It was very, very busy with LOTS of tourists and street vendors.
We even saw a lady modelling a wedding dress (but we didn't get a photo).

Herself wanted to climb Little Quarter Bridge Tower for the view.
We were happy to be carried up in the rucksack.
Herself made an excuse for a breather halfway up by taking this photo of us.

The view from the top.

View from the other side.

We made a stern-looking security policeman chuckle when he checked the bags
before allowing us into the castle area.
I was hiding in Herself's handbag. But Fred was in Himself's rucksack:
'Big tough Englishman takes teddy bear to Prague'.

I just liked this building.

St Vitus's Cathedral. Woo!

St George's Basilica
(I feel very learned, telling you the names of all these marvellous buildings.)

This was exciting: Golden Lane -
a small cobbled street of 16th century cottages.
So colourful!

This was our favourite cottage in Golden Lane.

Dozing in the sunshine. This lap was made for us.

Having fun (and drinks) in Starbucks.
