Hi all.
Today we seek out two mysterys the first takes us down along the river Vitava in a north east direction looking for a park with terraces gardens .We leave around 10:30 am and it takes an hour to the King Charles the 4th bridge. Somewhere along this bridge are a set of steps that lead to a quite secret part of Prague ,where tourist rarely visit
Our mission is completed in about 10 minute, we walk down the stairs and the quietness hit us ,above the noise of thousands of voices all chatting ,shoes clip clopping on the cobble stone,you need to talk very loud to be heard. Here there is a great expanse green fields a babbling brook and the sweet noise of the bird life, but not terrace gardens,We were reward with a lovely little restaurant called Pik Nik,where we drank the wine and ate the food,calamari and salad,a really calming experience.
We leave this quiet place and move to our next task ,a walking tour of the street art which is legal in some parts of Prague but not in others. We are to met outside the big department store at Namsti republic ,looking for someone holding a black umbrella around 1:00 am.
The group is made up of 11 people from all over the world and Thomas will be our guide. Thomas firstly explains how the people of Czechie have forever it seemed been unhappy with how their country has been governed. This was what caused the revolution. No listening to western ,communist spies ,they could be anyone even your best friend,so at first small groups of citizens would arrange street parties to show the communist party that they were in control of their own lives ,so music and street art became their way of fighting in peace.
This tour took 3 hrs ,some of the art was fabulous and other were just tags . Some wall are legal, others are not . On those walls arrest and fine or even jail are the norm. By now. We are exhausted ,we had walked 13kilometers all up and ours leds are telling us both, enough is enough .
We get back home put our feet up,then shower ,then off for a meal of Spainish tapez, really nice ,but not upto Movita.
No blog tomorrow as our only tour thing is a concert which starts at 7.00 so resting is all we will be doing
See you soon
