Bern Day Two

On our only full day in Bern
we headed out to explore the city.
Unfortunately, most of the 
stores were not open
because it was a Sunday, but we
did go on another bear hunt.

The city itself it very beautiful, with lots
of bridges to cross and amazing views.

Our days were filled with lots of walking,
but everyone had a blast.







We stopped and watched the astronomical clock.




The city has a ton of electric buses
and trams and the kids had
to wave at everyone that passed by.

About 95% of the drivers waved back, but 
on every bus/tram someone waved back.
The kids had a blast doing it.
It really is the small things in life.



 I think you can tell what he was thinking when we
sit down to eat Mexican for lunch!


 Group photos are really hard to get.
Someone is always not looking at the camera.

 Amazing views!

The river was a cool greenish
blue color and had a ton of 
folks swiming in it, it was
a little to cold for me!
It was ice cold!!!


 Another bridge and another amazing view.
 We found bears!!!





It was a great day.
We had lot of fun exploring even if we didn't
get to shop that much.

Prauge Day 2

On our second and last full day
in Prague we headed out early to
get some pictures of Prague's
astronomical clock.
 The clock is over 600 years old and is the
oldest working clock of its kind in the world.
It is located in the Old Town Square.




 Next to the clock I found another door. :-)






 The details around this door was 
a work of art.

 We then headed back across 
The Charles Bridge.

 It's a historic bridge that crosses the Vltava river.
It connects Old Town with the Prague Castle.

The bridge is lined with 30 statues, that 
were originally built around 1700,
 but are now all replaced by replicas.

 The statues and views from the bridge 
are amazing.



 I found another door at the end of the bridge.



 While exploring the city we found a sign for Hooters!
We try for the most part not to eat at chain resturants
when we travel, but it's been over 2 years without
some good hot wings. 
So off to Hooters for lunch we went!
 Sweet Boy's first time at Hooters.
The food was amazing and it was fanciest Hooters
we had ever been in.

 We checked out a toy store.

 The Diva!

 We did a little more exploring as
 the rain clouds rolled in that night.


 On our way back to the hotel
 I found this:
It made Mr. PC and I smile.
As I often say that phrase!

Prague is a city that is a great mix
of the old and the new. 
It is one of the few places that 
we have visited that both Mr. PC
and I would visit again.
