Arrival in Prague

Met our guide Marketa at our hotel and planned the activities for the next days. Old and New Town walking tour today.
Decided not to post umpteen pictures of old buildings, but for a few pics that I couldn't resist. (Don't forget to read the captions).

Shopping Mall
A political plaster sculpture, parodying the disfunctional Czech Parliament. 24 political parties and the communists still have about a 15% following.

Church
The unpretentious facades hide some dramatic church interiors (unlike Italy where the main cathedrals have spectacular exteriors).

Church
What is Robyn pointing at, you may well ask? See next...

Church
A warning to thieves! The butchers guild (under the protection of this church's Saint) cut off the arm of a 15th century vestry thief and hung it up as a warning. Six hundred years later it's still doing its job!

Aw magnificently beautiful. Just love the architecture of yesteryear. Could just sit and admire all features and be amazed at how they did it. Must watch Pillars.

Freak! Could do with some of that practice here!

Local food is interesting. Bread and potato dumplings join the various goulash sauces. They seem to like combining their meats. Yesterday I had a pork steak with a blue cheese dressing, topped with ham and salami. Verra nice!
