I think I can see the Czech Inn from here!

The weather has been so beautiful here that we have had to go out walking every day - we can't waste a moment of sunshine!



We decided to explore the parks on the castle- side of the river, and we found many beautiful vistas.



The view below was taken from Letenske Sady (Letna Park) which is just below our flat- a nice 10 minute walk. This park is huge, with a few beer gardens for refreshment, and great walking (biking/rollerblading) paths. We intend to spend a lot more time here.







This view was taken from Petrin Hill, which is yet another HUGE park. Our earlier blog entry "One Cool Old Church" was created when we explored one side of the park, the photos below are from another area of the park.

This time, we didn't walk all the way up the hill, as the funicular railway was operating and we took advantage of it. This view is from the mid-point of the trip up. As you can see, the trees are all in bloom!


We left the car at the mid-point and walked the rest of the way up. We discovered some wonderful gardens that are just beginning to come into bloom.






Near the top, there is the Church of St. Lawrence.

We love all the spires and towers that abound in this city. This area is also where Prague's version of the Eiffle tower is located. We walked to the base of it, realized that to get to the top required walking up thousands of stairs, and opted to go get a beer instead. So no wonderful photos from the top!
