| Prague was our
final stop before returning home. We arrived from Vienna via Tyrolean
Air [yodeling optional] rather than train because of the continuing
floods.After seeing Hradcany [the castle district]
on a city tour, we explored Stare Mesto [Old Town]
on foot. We attended a concert at the Klementinum, a baroque
chapel with pink and grey marble, loads of cherubs, mirrors and gold trim.
Food? Still good. If you get homesick try Red Hot & Blues.
Ate creole food with a bottle of Czech Frankovka!
Talk about cultural dissonance... We had a wonderful time with Klara who
joined us for the last day of a trip into an old
world becoming new.

On the morning of our second day in Prague we woke up to find the city "missing" in a blanket of fog! We walked to Karlov Most [the famous Charles Bridge] and enjoyed the mysterious silence. |
