Had a great meandering day through the laneways of Prague. The buskers were out in force, so had a lovely time listening to a talented young singer/guitarist at the Lennon Wall in Velkopřevorské náměstí in the Malá Strana, or Little Quarter.
The Gothic, Charles Bridge, gets so crowded, but I like the small streets that run down beside it. I was off wandering, not taking very much notice, and found myself in the middle of a film set. Of course I was lost in my own little world, so didn’t really process what was going on until a very gruff man roared at me in some foreign language. When I did look around, it was an odd site. There were women in period costume strolling the streets, and men in tights asleep in wagons and carriages. I have absolutely no idea what they were filming, just slightly bemused that I didn’t even notice the movie filming signs everywhere and the massive cameras.
I had been warned that food here was stodgy meat and dumplings, but not true, and I have found some lovely cafes. I had fantastic prawn Pad Thai and then a stroll back to put on something slightly more respectable than my oh so travel worn clothes.
I was very excited as I wandered the cobblestone streets back to the very lovely Church of Our Lady before Týn. I had bought tickets to the Royal Czech Orchestra concert. It was wonderful. Of course the acoustics in the Church were fantastic and I became totally spell bound listening as Vivaldi, Pachelbel and Bach rang out from talented violinists.
