The aerial water closets
Yesterday the heavens opened with an amazing electrical thunderstorm, forked ligthning and tremendous crashes of thunder shook the skies and the temperature dropped 15 degrees in a few minutes a welcome relief after the searing heat of the last few weeks. Today is still cooler 27 degrees so Les and I went exploring the old hunting forests of the King a wonderful green belt reserve in central Prague aboout 80 hectares. We had planned on being lazy and catching the cable car up to the top but when we arrived it was out of action for three months so footpower prevailed. The breeze and the shade of the old trees and the meandering paths were a welcome change from the crowds in the main tourist areas in the town. A tiny squirrel came up to us but we were too slow to get a photo. We wandered around for a few hours heading down towards the river and watched the clock tower perform its magic on the hour, explored the old( prior to 1300AD) and new town ( 1300AD on) before heading back to our apartment and the boys. The boys escaped to the local Irish Pub to watch the AB beat the Aussies. Catching the tram was great and to collapse exhausted into the seats was soooo good.
