Morning (or afternoon) post because I got back late last night (or early this morning). Well, Thursday I had a lazy day (I still can't shake this cold) went for a couple of short walks in Prague and admired the buildings.

This guy was just hanging out waiting for
Mary Poppins |
 |
Czech flies are bigger than in Australia... |
Yesterday I did a walking tour of Prague. Here come the photos.
 |
I liked this clock |
 |
This is the New Town Hall
Protestants threw Catholics out of the windows that are
now barred - it's the first floor
Other Protestants staked the life out of those who
hit the ground and didn't die |
 |
I don't know what this was, but I like it |
 |
Just beautiful |
 |
The Powder Tower, and entrance to Old Town |
 |
The angels have gold wings! |
 |
A statue to the guy who brought Protestantism to Prague |
 |
The originally Protestant, now Catholic, church
peering out from behind the buildings |
 |
Some guys having fun at the top there |
 |
Looking at Prague Castle |
 |
The recital hall |
I learnt a lot about Prague and the Czech Republic's history, and our guide was really good. I saw a lot on the walk back to the hostel.
 |
More guys on a building |
 |
Another gorgeous tower
The entrance to Charles Bridge |
 |
A swan and fairly grown up cygnets |
 |
Just for you, Mum - bridge photo
There are trams crossing it |
 |
So green! |
 |
A mosaic at the top of the building |
Then I did a Segway tour, and I was the only one on the tour!
 |
Beautiful views |
 |
Cathedral! |
 |
I managed to balance on the Segway |
 |
This is Lesser Town, the oldest part of Prague |
 |
The oldest pub in Prague - from the Middle Ages |
I had a pizza for tea and only ate half - I was proud of my efforts.
 |
Massive, massive pizza |
My tour guide was a bit of a metalhead, and recommended a metal pub to me - I managed to find it. I got there about 8:30pm.
 |
Hell's Bell's - Prague's underground metal pub |
It was in a basement, and very cool. I left around 2:30am, so I had an awesome time.
 |
This is Prague at 3am - my camera doesn't like the dark |
I got back around 3:30am because I got lost a lot.
Well, it's my last afternoon here so I'm off to explore!
