We had a wonderful rail journey through the Czech Republic to Prague.
We arrived in Prague and found our way to the hotel quite easily by taking a tram ride.
There wasn't much time for anything except a walk to the information centre, stopping at this church on the way!
Fortunately a couple across the aisle came to our rescue and told us to take our ticket and go around the corner to the counter! As it happened two men from Yorkshire were also on their first trip here so we enjoyed a bit of banter!
We both chose a pork stew and cabbage. I had dumpling with mine, hubby had rice! It was a truly delicious meal and at a very reasonable price. As you can see I had cola and hubby had orange.
I am of course joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for T Stands for Tuesday
We tried to stop at every statue for a little bit of shade but so did a lot of other folk!!
I will show just a few of the many we took on this fascinating bridge with stalls, artists and performers all along it.
...and walked back again!
We headed past some posh shops towards the Jewish Quarter...
...where even in the shade it was very hot!
We headed for a drink and next week I'll show you what we saw next!!
I am sorry I haven't been around much lately - my time has been taken making samples to send off for next Monday's Craft Individuals shows on Hochanda - I think they are planned for 12.00 and 16.00 GMT.
I have now got everything in the post (watch out - there may be sneaky peeks!)and hope to be catching up......unless anything else happens - I am struggling with a trapped nerve in my knee that occurred on the last part of our journey home from York! I'll show you some pics of York later in the week!
For now, Happy T Day and Thanks for looking, Chris

I never tire of photos from your trip. The restaurant sounds like it would've been helpful to be behind someone who'd been there before lol All's well that ends well, though, right? Pork stew sounds good :) Those musicians on the bridge would add a lot to the walk. Fun! Happy T Tuesday
I love seeing your travel photos and I am interested in Prague since a friend and I are retiring at the same time and talking about going there after we do retire in a couple of years. You've peaked my interest. Hope the nerve gets untrapped and your knee feels better soon. Hugs-Erika
So many gorgeous building on your walk through Prague. Your food looks and sounds delicious. How wonderful that you found a local place to eat with such good food and excellent prices.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I am so well travelled thanks to you and T! I am not sure if I could have coped with the heat on this trip though! Won't be able to see the shows but I look forward to sneaky peaks!
Looks like you had fun on your travels again. Thanks for sharing the photos, happy T Day, Valerie
I agree with Helen about being well traveled thanks to you and T. You two have the most fun and see the most incredible and unique areas. Too bad it was incredibly hot.
I'll have to wait for the sneak peeks, since I'm certain I won't get the show in the states.
What a unique place you visited for lunch. I'm guessing that is what the locals would call "traditional" food? Love how sweet T is to let you photograph him eating, too. He's a real trooper. And thanks for sharing these first photos of France along with your cola and T's orange with us for T this Tuesday.
Lots of amazing photographs again of your travels
Always great to see all the places you share with us
Hope your T day went well
Love Chrissie xx
Wonderful impressions of Praha!
Gorgeous!
Big hugs, Susi
Love all the pictures--but a trapped nerve in your knee? That sounds horrible. I hope it is better soon.
I'm a bit late calling in Chris, all the photos looked lovely and the restaurant must have been quite an experience for folk going there the first time.
Hope your day went well.

prague is such a beautifully restaured city and you brought us the best pictures! and it is a city of musicians... so nice! and hot - well, it was hot everywhere in europe this summer, exhausting for travellers for sure!
i really enjoy your photo trips, chris, and hope they go on:) xox
Bringing back some happy memories for me Chris. What a delightful trip you had - and such lovely weather.
Hope the knee improves for climbing the stairs at weekend.
Hugs, Neet xx
I just love your travel posts. It's the only way I'm able to go. :-D Prague looks like a beautiful city. I love when you're able to get around a city by walking. Looks like you were able to see lots of things and to find a nice spot to eat. Happy T Day! (Thurs. begins with a T, too. =^,.^=)
Lovely to see some familiar things, and some new ones too. For some reason every time I've visited Prague it's been pretty wintry, so it's nice to see it all with the sun out!

I am glad you were able to get across the Charles Bridge in relative comfort, people-wise. I have often seen it so packed that one cannot move at all.
It was hot wasn't it? There were days in my Czech village last summer when I couldn't move out of the house, or the museum, both of which are blessed with very thick stone walls!
Thanks for sharing your travels and eating adventures with us :-)
