21 degrees, mostly sunny and absolutely stunning. It was like being transported back in time. Cross the Vltava river via Charles bridge and you're in another world! Prague Castle itself is majestic with fabulous views back across the city. And the architecture of the castle district in general is fabulous. In contrast, the John Lennon Wall was a protest against the old regime. Because young people were banned from listening to his music they wrote protest lines of his songs on the wall. And a little further on there's another protest symbol which speaks for itself - pictures of both attached. Went in by car as far as the metro. All day parking one pound fifty!! Less than a pound to get to the heart of the city - probably 20 minutes - on a very clean and efficient underground system!! I walked everywhere but you can get a day ticket to use any and all of the cities transport for a little over two pounds!! Excellent coffee and excellent cake two pounds fifty!! No beer unfortunately as I was driving!! I had a great day and I hope some of my photos do it justice. Going in again tomorrow to explore the old and new town areas on the east side of the river.
