the lighter side

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.
This bridge is known for its famous sculpture gallery, statues (30 in all) of saints lining both its sides, most [...]

The other Tuesday, the 27th, was scheduled for the Castle Hill and Charles Bridge, which we did in the evening (Was it before 7:00pm?) As the pictures show, it was still daylight.
Prague Castle has been the seat of government from the Czech kings, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV included, housed the different offices of [...]

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 [...]

This is one good thing about travel, it can’t be that we can’t learn as we go along the way. Like this one, I was curious if St. Wenceslas was the same person to the son of the “king” (or Duke), who also ruled in Bohemia after his father. So this sent me on a [...]

From the Old Town Square we walked our way to the unusually-long St. Wenceslas Square, another historic quaint tourist attraction.
It’s main and well-known landmark is the equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas. On the upper part of the avenue is the National Museum. As always, tourists were still around, but because of the length of the [...]

After the Holy Mass at the Infant Jesus of Prague Church, M had to find a parking place for the car. This is challenge which car owners here have to hurdle in the city proper. We (Dad, M, Dy, little C and I) then proceeded to the Old Town Square. Everyone was walking along the [...]

LOL!!! And so Daisy detailed what I didn’t touch in my previous post. That’s one thing that made our trip unforgettable! Do read through her post, it will make your day!
The airline staff was sort of grumpy (and who would not be, minus the explanation?) when she asked how come we had [...]
