Prague

Lois and Dr Anne are staying in an apartment in the centre of Prague.  It is newly refurbished but has no sound proofing.  They were awakened at 0600 with a 'warring' couple upstairs.  The day started early...


Dr Anne visited with JD in 1984.  They were on a two city trip to Vienna and Prague. How has the city changed - many Americans and Asians, homeless people in the parks, under bridges and especially around the railway station, dodgy currency exchange, locals taking advantage of visitors.  Lois and Dr Anne learned an early lesson - a very expensive coffee and cake.  They both felt unease.

Most of the sightseeing was at Prague Castle.  First stop was St Vitus Cathedral built in 1929.  



The organ.


Amazing stain glass.


Wonderful exterior.

The duo the visited the Royal Palace, the Basilica of St George, and the Golden Lane (a group of old houses) all within the Palace grounds.

The day ended at the Charles Bridge.

The duo walked back to the flat in the twilight.
