Tuesday, April 6, 2010 (Part 7):Following our tour of several churches, we walked across the Charles Bridge once again to get to the western part of the old town area of the city. As we were walking across the bridge, we noticed that there were several restaurants located on the western side of the river. It was a beautiful day, and it struck as as the perfect idea to find our way to one of these restaurants for lunch. Additionally, when Katherine was in Prague the previous week, she was on a walking tour where they were shown the smallest "street" in Prague. That street was on the western side of the river and led to a restaurant at the water's edge. And so that became our destination.
It took a little exploring but, without too much difficulty, we found our way to this very small "street" that led to the river. Of course, it really isn't a street a tall. It's no more thanan incredibly small alleyway -- about the width of a single person. In fact, it can only be traversed one person in one direction at a time. There is even a stop light -- with red and green lights -- to tell people when they can proceed up or down. The lights are really not necessary. The length of this passageway is no more than about 75 feet. But it was a cute touch.
We had a lot of fun making our way down the alley and finding ourselves in the outdoor seating area of a restaurant. The seating was in two
sections, an upper and a lower section. Because we were arriving before the lunch hour, we had a wonderful selection of seating options. We chose a table directly on the water. It was great! We enjoyed a very nice lunch of salads and we took advantage of our relaxing break to write a few postcards.
