☔️ There is beauty in the rain...and it does not mean the end of a beautiful day... 🔹So, we plodded along to our pre-booked evening river cruise + dinner + live music down the Vltava River where we flowed gently into the heart of the City of Prague and took in the views as it changed before our eyes - Charles Bridge, Prague Castle and much more (swipe to see). After taking these photos, the rain came...strong winds, cold night on the deck and we were freezing 🥶 And guess what carried on, oblivious to Mother Nature? The music went on, the singing went on and plenty of food and drink...It was one of our best river cruises 🎼💃🏻🕺 - - Follow @ouradventuresmemoriesandj/ Follow @mymoments_through_mylens/ Follow https://www.ouradventuresmemoriesandjournals.com/ Or Link in bio.

It was uncomfortable at times and my arms ached but I did not put it away - no pain no gain, right? - - ♦️Do you have a love for Red Roofs? Do you go to any lengths to snap a picture?

This looks weird! And it is! - - 🔸Apparently, if you look at it long enough, you can pick out images of animals, monsters and random distorted faces! - - 🔸This eerie, weird, unusual and fascinating wall is known as “The Grotta” or “Dripstone Wall” (Pic. 3), which can be found in a secluded part of a lush garden (Pic. 2) in Wallenstein Palace, in the heart of Prague. - - 🔸Though it looks like dripping skulls, it is actually made of stalactites-like rocks assembled to give a haunting look. - - 🔸This Wall also presents a 500-year mystery waiting to be solved! It contains clues to secret passage ways behind those walls and it can only be accessible by those bright enough to discern the pattern. - - 🔸Would you like to have a go at cracking the mystery?

The incredible architecture with its finer details and stained glass windows speaks for itself. With the sunlight coming through into this large and airy space invoked a somewhat sense of peacefulness which I had not experienced elsewhere before. - - 🆕 Southwark Cathedral ~ Why you should visit this Oldest Gothic Cathedral in London?
