Here are the promised photos of Prague. I've tried to make them larger than the photos in previous posts, but I'm not sure how successful it's been.
This is us outside St Vitus' Cathedral at Prague castle. Note the amazingly blue sky in the background - our first really good weather since leaving Brisbane seven months go!
This will hopefully give an idea of the huge crowds of tourists at the castle. Click on the photo for a larger image (if the experiment to resize them hasn't been successful). There were thousands and thousands of tourists around.
A random building in the old town. Think it's a theatre or a restaurant, or possibly both.
Statue of King Wenceslas in his eponymous square. I didn't see this in the flesh, as I was having a nap back at the hotel due to my horrid cold.
Megan and Brett at the Prague brewery (with the stinky person at the next table).
The interior of the Estates Theatre, all ye-olde and decorated. Very cool.
The chandelier at the Estates Theatre.
View from the castle gardens of the winding streets down to the river.
On the Charles Bridge, early morning. Another day with blue skies! The castle is in the background - that might be St Vitus' Cathedral...?
The Old Town, with the Astronomical Clock on the lefthand side. Note the crowds of tourists.
Kafka's house. Pretty cool building, even without that claim to fame.
The Astronomical Clock in action. It has lots of random dials and hands and pictures. No one really knows exactly what it all means.
View of some fancy buildings from our boat cruise.
View of the Charles Bridge from the opposite bank. Note the crowds of tourists.
A statue near the Kafka museum. Yes, the figures are doing what you think they are doing. You can even text a word or name or phrase to them and they will spell it out for you; the perfect gift for someone who has everything.

Awesome pics! And who would have thought you left seven months ago. So much has happened, but it still seems like yesterday (all my troubles seemed so far away...) :D
