Prague, our last long day

So today we set out to do a final few things in Prague, as tomorrow will be an early day since we have to catch a taxi at 3:50am Sat morning.
We took the subway to the tram to walk across the Charles Bridge....in the snow. We went outside today around 10, and it had been snowing for a few hours. No accumulation really, but still a weird morning. At the end of the bridge, we saw pissing moving fountains that will write what you text to a number, a wall dedicated to John Lennon, the same artists' babies from the tower on the ground with smooshed faces, and a memorial to communist era rebels.
From there we wanted to get to the Prague Eiffel tower, aka Petrin Tower. We went to take the Funicular, a tram similar to Pittsburg's hillside cars. CLOSED. So we took a tram all the way around to the top, walked to the tower, and CLOSED. Oh well, at least the view on the way down was nice.



After that, we had no goal really. We revisited the one place we went Monday to see what we missed, then headed to the center area.
For dinner we ended up at another of the brewpubs, where I had Svickova. Interesting combo of food. Our 2 meals, 3 beers, and a mug with tip was ~$30. Love the prices here.

Well, likely my last post from Czech Republic. It has been fun, but I can't wait to be home.
