I love to wander. Whether in the woods of NH, USA, or the streets of Boston. One sees so much more ambling along. Walking down from the castle, (see blog post on Vysehrad castle), is a tricky descent. As an aging American, even hiking down from a mountain top requires focus. The long, steep trek to the river made me second guess my choice of route. Worth it.
Getting to the river road, I headed for the center of town, keeping an eye out for the Charles bridge. The road, Naplavka, runs along the river, below the Rasinvo nabr. This whole day was filled with wonders.
In a few places you must pass through a tunnel. One was big enough to be the setting for a skateboard park!
Weeks prior Prague had suffered major flooding, forcing the removal of boats from the water.
Fortunately for all who make a living on the river, and we tourists, the water had receded and businesses were opening back up.
Not sure this barge bar would entice me.
This pink Statue?
A nod to David Cerny when he and fellow students painted a tank pink as a sign of protest against Communism. I might have to fly a pink flag!
Art and Architecture in Prague. Stop and let your eyes wander.
This seasoned woods hiker found cobblestones a challenge. How do all the joggers do it?
The window rotates open. I sat riverside for a wonderful sandwich and the ever refreshing Pilsner.
Between the pubs tucked under the main road that runs above, and the BARges on the river this area must be hopping when the sun goes down.
