Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.

Prague!

So…we have been to Prague. My sister covered us for a week and we went to Prague for four nights. I have wanted to visit there for a while but it seemed like the rest of the World had the same idea. It was very busy. We walked for miles and miles and I think we pretty much saw everything there is to see. I feel I have done it now and don’t feel the need to go back. Of course I took hundreds of pictures and have whittled them down to those that follow, but there are still quite a lot, sorry…

Touring the city in 'Old Cars' is a thing that we avoided.

A Glutton!...It hoovers up the litter. The UK should get these!

"Go Back! Or I'll set your boat on fire!"

Lock that bypasses one of the weirs on the River Vltava.

Wenceslas Square...for shoppers, not us.

Prague Castle and St Vitus Cathedral stand out...

These statues were so accommodating to the birds.

Coypu! This crawled out of the river and surprised us!

St John of Nepomuk, thrown to his death into the Vltava River.

The Astronomical Clock on the Old Town Hall Tower.

On the Charles Bridge, at last, early in the morning to avoid the crowds...

The Old Town Square Tower. We went up it...

Views from the top of the Old Town Hall Tower...

We loved wandering the streets to get away from the crowds.

The Petrin Lookout Tower, built in the style of the Eiffel Tower but one fifth the size.

Views from The top of the Petrin Lookout Tower.

Will is not a fan of high man-made objects!

Looking from Prague Castle back to the Petrin Lookout Tower.

Prague Castle at sunset from The Charles Bridge.

This church was so elaborate and 'over the top'!...

St Wenceslas riding an upside down dead horse.

Time with Tessa.

So…we had some time off with Tessa last week. She was over from Australia visiting family and she popped up to see us for a few days. We spent a lot of time in the Lake District, walking from Skelwith Bridge to Elterwater with her Auntie and Uncle, a steep climb up Raven Crag, a visit to Castlerigg Stone Circle and Mayborough Henge and an epic walk up Causey Pike on her last day with us.
