"Day 10 (29 Sept) Nuremberg
(Disembarkation)–Prague, Czech
Republic"
"After breakfast, say
goodbye to your crew and travel by motorcoach to Prague, the
“Golden
City.”
Predictably, traffic problems just
like Ottawa ...
Graffiti artists are
everywhere.
The view from our hotel
bedroom.
The elegant reception area of our
hotel, the Boscolo Prague
Our first walk through the Prague
city centre.
Inside the formidable central
shopping mall.
A definitely different dining
area!
But we chose a less luxurious
locale for 'capps' and treats.
Our ladies' council discusses ...
well ... just about everything!
Actually, it was a wine tasting of
a luscious Wachau Region wine.
But Keith is not impressed
with the outcome of their discussions!
Such a beautiful hotel!
We dine in the unique hotel dining
room.
The bar area adjacent to our
table.
A typical Czech dinner, veal
schnitzel and potato salad, simple but tasty!!!
Carol images our repas in the
hotel's formal dining room.
"Day 11 (30 Sept)
Prague"
"Prague
is a 1,200-year-old city preserved in
time, and,
unlike other Central European capitals, it
was
not bombed during the
20th-century wars. A Local Guide shows you its best-known treasures,
such as
the
Old Town’s
Astronomical
Clock, built in
1410
and once the envy of all of Europe;
HRADCANY
CASTLE
GROUNDS;
St. Vitus
Cathedral; and
the Charles
Bridge,the
oldest bridge in Prague. Browse
the shops for hand-cut
crystal or art books. Mix with the locals in
Wenceslaus
Square, an
important
meeting point where
people demonstrated against the communist regime; or watch performers
on Charles
Bridge."
A sumptuous breakfast at the
hotel, then off on our tour.
