Prague, Christmas 2005

We spent 5 days in Prague over Christmas 2005 and what a beautify city. Another place that we can't wait to visit again, maybe in the summer. We had great weather though, a mixture of sunshine and snow. Stayed in a great hotel, went to the opera, a jazz club and walked the town.
This picture is of the Charles Bridge on the Vltava River (there are quite a few pictures of this bridge!) 

We'd a great time catching up with Al and Dave on Christmas Eve; a short stroll across the city then straight to the pub for some good Czech beer.
