14th January 2018 - Prague - take 1

(We know we will be going to Prague more than once)

We went to the Petřín Observation Tower first.  It looks a little like the Eiffel Tower.  You can walk up to it - but it’s a long, way uphill, so we took the funicular railcar up to the top of the hill, first time I’ve been in one of those, so that was pretty interesting.  The we took the elevator to the top of the tower - can’t trust my knee not to cave in part way up and keep people waiting.  I could do the steps - but it would have been slow going as I babied the stupid knee if it decided to have an attack.

This is the tower:



Below are some photos taken from the observation desk:






This is a panorama shot (hope it works) in the mirror maze house and the last shot is a memorial to the people lost (physically or otherwise) during the communist occupation of the then Czechoslovakia.
