Last days in Prague

We have continued our tradition of Peter staying in the hotel while I go out and explore on our last day. Yesterday we spent some more time exploring the city, then did an evening river cruise. The food was good and apart from a short rain shower, it was a lovely evening and we got to see the city at night.


We took the funicular up Petrin Hill with great views over the castle and city. Then went to Letna Park. There is a large metronome sculpture which has replaced the Stalin statue that was there during the Soviet era.







Today I went back up to the castle. I was hoping it wouldn't be too crowded on a Monday but it was as busy as the weekend. I visited the St Vitus Cathedral then escaped the crowds. We both went out for a while in the afternoon for our last wander around the city.



"Good King Wenceslas"

We leave tomorrow and are looking forward to going home, thought the temperature change has us a bit worried. The forecast for Doha is in the high thirties so it will be a shock to the system!
