Climbing the Tower, Randoms, and Saying Good-bye to Prague

Our last day in Prague....I can't explain how wonderful it was.  Safe, relaxing, a surprise at every turn.

We don't have that kind of tangible history that the European countries have.  Canada is so young...

Here are a few photos just to be enjoyed.

Make sure.....you put Prague on your bucket list.  Love it. 

We ate lunch at the restaurant (that is actually a huge boat) below.  The salad and pizza...we shared.

The Old Town Bridge Tower which we climbed.  

Around and around we went to the very top...for the views.

It was so worth it.

"We are almost there LD...."

View of the Old Town from the top of the tower.

Charles Bridge...mid day....very busy.

The district known as Lesser Town at the far side of the Charles Bridge.

Deb and I enjoyed a wee cappuccino at the restaurant on the right.  As we were sitting there a gondola like the ones in Venice went by with a gondolier?  So cool and odd.

Marionettes hanging around waiting to be taken home by someone.

Made either in wood or plaster.  A Czech tradition since the 18th century.

Very affordable.

A commemorative plaque placed on the Charles Bridge where apparently Saint John of Nepomuk, who worked for King Wenceslas IV, was killed here by being tossed into the river below.

It is good luck to touch the statue as it will also ensure a return to Prague.

I touched it for sure.

Deb and her yummy dessert.

Very messy....but very good.

Heading to the airport tomorrow after an amazing time in Prague.

Next destination......Spain.....a little town called Cadiz.
