Old Town

We made our way to the “old town” today. We took the trolley through past Malanstranska which is one of the main squares outside of the old town. Jackie always seems to navigate all to the right spot. The entrance gate is massive, the gate in this picture is the entrance to the Charles Bridge. This is a walking bridge across to the old town. It perhaps took us 45 minutes to walk across and it could have taken hours as the whole bridge is filled with venders, artists and buskers. A real neat site. Not to mention there are about 50 statues that are 15 feet tall at least along the bridge. It appears that one of the reasons that it was so high many years ago was the flooding that Prague had.. We walked for hours along the streets of the town. Always another small street with something to see. These streets being so narrow become “ours” as soon as we slow down as a group. Sooner or later someone is going to leave us some change or something especially when we all sit on the street and start eating our lunch. It must be a pathetic or fascinating site.
