Prague Intrigues


Here is the Chapel of Saint Wenceslaus in Saint Vitus Cathedral in Prague Castle. I didn’t know “Good King Wenceslaus” was the first Czech saint and is buried here. Also in St. Vitus is this balcony for the new pipe organ but they found out it would not support the new organ so it is being reinforced. The organ will be shaped so as not to block the Rose window  
Moving on to the outer wall of the castle, I was enchanted with the tiny houses, where folks used to live but without electricity or running water they eventually were turned into shops. They are very small. 
The canal part of the Vltava River by the Charles Bridge was beautiful. 
We of course had to sample the famous Czech treat Trdelnik. A special dough chimney filled with ice cream.
