By The Side of the Vltava River
Posted by mom811 on Friday, June 6th, 2008
Last Saturday, May 31, we headed to the riverside of the Vltava River, a known landmark of the Czech Republic. It’s the longest river in the country, flowing 270 miles (435 km.) through central Bohemia in Prague.
The site was like when you are in a beach, many people around were in swim suits just lying with almost bare attire, male and female alike. Most Europeans want a tanned skin, so exposure to the sun is a favorite leisure for them. With their place located in Central Europe, locals (and so do tourists), enjoy the river in place of a sea, and use it for swimming, boating, surfing, water sports, biking, or plain sun-bathing, not to mention just cruising with lunch on board. Of course, there were food shops around.
It was enjoyable to be by the riverside, with a unique experience to see people sun-bathing even at 7:00pm as the sun was still up and bright! And with the activities and site around, you’d forget you’re not in a real beach!
