Knowing me, Knowing you, Praha

Okay, I could have gone with a Take On Me gag somehow (using Pra-ha) but couldn't quite make it work (even worse than the one I did use really).

Probably the single most photogenic place I've been, despite the gap-toothed harpies accosting innocent passers-by first thing in the morning. This will be why there are more photos than usual. Sorry.

This is the market square. I didn't get a good one of the more historically important Wenceslaus square, but this one is prettier anyway.

Great looking clock, eh? Every hour crowds gather round to see the chimes, then wander off asking why they bothered.

A Gothic Tower. Prague survived the wars prettu much untouched. Remarkable.

A modern statue that is rather good! For Kafka - and looking at it, it could hardly be for anyone else

The old new synagogue. Where the golem was made. So be nice.

I was the only person on out tour to give a stuff about Brahe and Kepler. Made me feel like a snob.

Cool church in the palace area. Probably Baroque - so many of the most tacky ones were...

A gloriously silly decoration. Painted on, rather than sculpted

Today's fountain.

St Vitus cathedral.

Can you spot where the communists subtly edited out the name of the guy they didn't like?

The famous Charles Bridge. As you can see, popular with tourists even on these days.
