Prague Day 4

Thought I'd best keep this in order. We started the day on Tuesday early in Prague with a list of all the places we wanted to see, and a mapped out route, thanks to Tara. We needed to be at the airport by 3:30 and we figured it would be about 45 minutes to get there. So off we went to see the sights on our list: the inside of both St. Nicholas churches, the Lady before Tyn church, to walk past the "dancing building" also known as the Fred and Ginger building because of it's unique architecture, and past the national theatre. This walk entailed crossing the river, going up a hill and then following the river for about a mile before we crossed back and headed back to the old town square. As we walked, we past the oddest group of sculptures of babies!
Also along the river was the John Lennon wall:
The walk was beautiful, with the sun breaking through the winter clouds for a few minutes. We hit one area where there were Art Neavou style buildings, one after another. Took a lot of pictures of balconies, while we discussed which flat we wanted to live in.





We headed to the airport earlier than we needed to, but didn't mind as I would just rather not have the hassles of running late. However, we didn't really need to worry about running late at this point. See the next entry about our trip home!
