Ghosts On Tour - 2006 - Day 15 (October 13)

On our second day we visited the Museum of Communism (which was very interesting) and then headed off on a three and a half hour walking tour of Prague. Our guide was great but we forgot to tip her (sorry!).

In the evening we headed off to the opera house. There we found that the opera we thought we were seeing (a version of Midsummer Nights Dream by Shakespeare with music by Mendelssohn) was in fact a ballet - modern ballet to be exact. In any case, it was very good, we had fantastic seats and it was cheap as chips. But, I'm glad we read the program (which was also in English) beforehand because it explained the story. Otherwise, it would have been quite confusing.

The famous clock in Prague		Everyone looking at the clock	Prague is an architectural melting pot
	Anna and Kafka	Jewish quarter
	Many bridges on the Vlatva - 17 in all		Heading into Prague castle
The cathedral inside the castle grounds	A moat! A big one...		We never imagined a moat could be so deep, wide and generally big! The parkland in what was the moat is huge
The main square inside the castle grounds		The castle towers poking out over the top of the square

Looking back over Prague	Always hazy
			Very hazy - that is the sun
	Houses used to have names, not numbers
