Having missed the Technology Museum earlier, we went there late this morning – we had a slow start. It was interesting, but only for an hour or so. We then found our favourite lunch spot on the terrace in front of the Municipal Hall and enjoyed the passing scene for a while, before wandering back to the Josephof area in hope of seeing some of the synagogues. However, it appears that all are closed, since the crowds all seemed to be on the sidewalk and no ticket office could be found.
It was time to get a last couple of souvenirs and pack for home. After that and a brief rest, we headed out in the rain to find our evening tour:
Prague
by Night. This consisted of a short narrated bus ride around the chief
attractions followed by a dinner cruise, with a jazz band. If we could
have been out on deck it would have been more interesting. However, we
sat alone at a table with Julia
(Yulya) from Moscow. Her English (self-taught!) was very basic, but we
had a good conversation nonetheless. She was in Prague alone, having
left parents, sister, husband and daughter behind. It must be lonely to
travel like that. The food was OK, music very good, and when we braved
the rain, the view from the upper deck was also terrific. Then the walk
back through rain-washed streets from the river to our hotel.
