Prague

This morning was cool and threatening rain. We were going to go bowling, but the bowling alley was closed so instead we played a game of pool in the games room of our pension before we got on the road to Prague. Luckily the owner of our pension had a friend in Prague with a pension and so we went straight there.

We left the car safely at our accommodations and took the metro into downtown. I really think Ottawa has got to get with the times and get a subway!

The town square is huge. There is a really cool clock tower that even has calendar dials. At the other end is the cathedral with its ornate spires. We were too late to go in, but perhaps tomorrow.

We had our supper at one of the many restaurants and then went for a walk. Prague has the Vltava River running through the middle of it and there are many arched bridges that cross it. We crossed one bridge and then went along the other side, stopping to admire the view before crossing the Charles Bridge to come back.

By this time it was starting to get dark and the city lights were coming up. The castle, which we’re planning to visit tomorrow, was all lit up making it look even more impressive.
