Today was a great day as all the rest have been. We walked across the River and the day was so clear you could see the Castle and the Gothic spires on the churches very clearly. We went up Petrin Hill in a funicular and then continued to the Hunger Wall, named because one of the Kings built it to help feed the masses. We continued on to the Petrin tower and went to the top for spectacular views of Prague. We visited the Stravhov Monastery, where in the library, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was filmed. Very cool! We saw the Loreta and the Capuchin Monastery which were built in the 1200's. We finally walked down the hill and saw the John Lennon Peace wall where we left messages of peace for all the crazy wars that still go on around the world. We crossed the Charles River Bridge, which is a pedestrian way and statuary is on both sides of the bridge. As we crossed, we saw the little island, called Kampa with adorable houses surrounding a park.
