Travel report

My friend Kolyaʹs bike and tent, pitched right down by the riverside

We had a nice view on the castle Vyšehrad from the campsite

Thie small ferry carried us across the Vltava to the city centre

On the old cityʹs city hall square with the Jan Hus monument and the Týn cathedral

The Kinský palace on the city hall square. Today it is home to the National Galleryʹs administration

Kolya once lived in Prague, and this was his favourite pub, Jelínkova pivnice

He studied Czech language and this is the Jungmann monument, reviver of the Czech language

The Goethe Institute, home of the German language, for centuries dominating in Prague

The art nouveau style, common in Prague, really hailed the beauty of the female body

Here the assassinators of the Nazi ruler Reinhard Heydrich were hunted down

One can see many statues and tourists on Charles bridge, one of the oldest bridges north of the Alps

Two extraordinary astronomers, who lived in Prague, are honoured here. The German Kepler ...

... and the Dane Brahe, who is buried in the Týn cathedral, which this is a glance into

Nerudova street leads down from the castle to Malostranské náměstí area to the Lesser Side

A look up a side alley to one of the palaces of the castle area

The Czech breweries, here Krušovice, are now also into wheat beer. Nice!

The Czech national dish svíčková na smetaně, pork in double cream sauce with bread dumplings
