Tram in Prague.Our final day in Prague didn’t start too well. It was chucking it down when we woke up, but there was blue sky by the time we checked out of the hotel.

We went wandering around the town, but pretty much straight away had to shelter in an ATM booth from a thunderstorm. Once the rain stopped we looked at the market and the funny tourist t-shirts (“Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls go to Prague.” “I fear no beer”, etc.). We found the Jewish quarter and then headed for the river to go on the pedalos. They weren’t running when we arrived,  and as soon as they opened, the next thunderstorm threatened, so we decided against it.  A nice lunch later (sausages, bread and beer), we headed back to the airport and back home.

It was a great break and Prague is a beautiful city. Well worth going. What struck us is how clean the place is. There is hardly any litter at all. Prague itself was hardly damaged in WWII (though many people died, of course, including most of the Jewish population), so the old town is completely preserved and there is barely anything new. The range of architectural styles is amazing.
