Fuji in Europe Part 23 - Palace, Cathedral and Prague

Fuji in Europe Part 23 - Palace, Cathedral and Prague

Walking a sloping narrow street, full of people and cars, towards the palace, you can see the beauty and craftsmanship of the old building lining the street.  Every building is different, yet they somehow fit very nicely together.  It was a hot and muggy day, with a promise of a storm in the air.

One thing I have to say I like about the Czechs.  They know how to play up to tourists.  The old city hall tower has an observation deck, which is accessible and the views are stunning.  Now, all the German towns and cities also had towers with observation decks.  The only difference is that the Czechs were smart, and installed a nice elevator in the tower, Germans are a little more primitive, and if one wanted to see the top, one had to use the old way of climbing, namely stairs.
