Last Day in Prague

Our last day in Prague began with an albino peacock sighting at the Czech Republic’s Senate Gardens, in the shadow of the Prague Castle. I did not even know these things existed, and there was one roaming the grounds freely (we had to wait for a throng of tourists to stop harassing it before I could get a clean shot).

After we toured the Senate Gardens, we walked uphill towards the castle and toured the area just west of it. We spent quite a bit of time in the Strahov Monastery Grounds, and took a short break in front of the Loreta Church for some food and relaxing. Then, we took a look inside the Cerminsky Palace Gardens before walking back towards the castle. We headed down the castle steps into Mala Strana and went looking for the famous John Lennon Wall, which is covered in layers and layers of graffiti. Following a brief stop at the wall, we found a cafe along the water and enjoyed some beer to wrap up the day before walking back to our hotel to pack for Vienna.

It was tough to leave Prague, but we have a wonderful city (and some family) waiting in Vienna.

    If you want to see albino peacocks (and a ton of other albino animals, including a white buffalo), check out the zoo at Nemacolin Woodlands. When the Woodlands Zoo from further down Route 40 closed, they bought most of the animals.

    I swear something is in the water up there on the mountain…
