the lighter side

Oh, I’m sorry I got all mixed up with the dates, the riverside and the Petrin Hill tours were done last Saturday, May 31, and the Charles Bridge and Prague Castle visits were the other Tuesday, May 27. I’ve mistakenly interchanged them! So may I fix this so that the dates of this documentation will [...]

The Petrin Hill Observation Tower

From the “beach”, we proceeded to look for parking just nearby the foot of the hill in the city and walked up to a transport station. (Along the way, we passed by the Memorial to the victims of communism.) Tickets were bought, and in a while we were in a funicular [...]

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 [...]

From the Prague Castle, we walked our way to the historic Charles Bridge (Karluv Most). There were still so many tourists in spite of its being reconstructed right now. Another site has more on this.

I can’t help but feature here some of the lovely spring flowers we passed by along the way, during the previous post’s neighborhood “field trip “, so enjoy these God-given beautiful sights.

If you can click on the photo for the large size (this is small) - the more you’ll appreciate them! The last one, the [...]

Before I’ll go to another tourist site we visited, I’ll first post these pics which were taken on the first Saturday since we arrived here. We went out into the fields just walking distance of our surroundings. So this was our first exposure to the weather here, and to the spring flowers in [...]

Before, I was confused by these places “Bohemia” and “Moravia” which usually pop up when reading about Czech Republic materials. Even while walking along the tourists’ sites, “Bohemia” always comes up, and I didn’t know its connection to the country or to Prague. This sent me again to surfing the net, and I’ll share the [...]
