We try to avoid tourist towns on the weekend- oops!
Visited the old town on day 1 of 3- it is next to Lesser Town (not sure if that translates direct...)
Most speak English here, although first language is Czech, and we hear some German too.
Most interesting experience so far, the old town. Feels a lot like San Marco square in Venice, and is very humid. People flocked around the old clock on the hour-just 5 mins earlier it was relatively empty.
The miniature cobblestones are gorgeous, although JM has trouble sleeping on them.
We were ushered in from the main square inside the restaurant, and the prices were half inside. What a tourist tax.
Also interesting, many of the old buildings are being restored and they sell the scaffolding as advertising space to subsidise the building expense. A great idea! Beer companies love it!
Toured the old Jewish quarter, some amazing detail in the buildings there.
Amazing detail when you look up- this their equivalent of 5th avenue.
A huge day for the little fella- fell asleep with mum after bath and bottle. He faught his arvo nap with all his might.
lovely photos of you all...looks like Travis trying to fit in with the Germans in his shorts..nearly look like lederhosens!!
