Magdeburg-Prague return, 22-24 May

Have left Lellebelle in Magdeburg to travel by train to Prague to celebrate Paulinas birthday.
Train from Madgaburg to Prague takes about 4 hours. Three American pensioners and a youngish Argentian our travel companions. American were sitting in our reserved seats but refused to move because their reserved seats were on a carriage that had not left Budapest. The Argentiinian lived in Patagonia. Much to my delight, having always wanted to travel to Patagonia after readin Bruce Chatwins " In Patagiona"

Prague, what a pleasure. Cannot get enough of the beautiful buildings. Such a pleasure just walking around. Could  take hundreds of photos but here are the hotspots where Carl was spotted.
The Astronomical clock, Prague Orloj. Made up of 3 components, the astronomical dial, the walk of the apostles and  the calendar dial. The oldest part of the clock dates back to 1410.

The old town square, eating traditional Prague ham ( just 
Iike julskinka, Christmas ham) and sausage, just to soak up the beer. 
Later in the evening we had more pig pork and pig calf? cooked in beer in a traditional  Czech restaurant. More beer to go with beer cooked pork. 

Charles (or Carl) on Charles bridge, Karluv Most. Construction of the bridge started 1357 under King Charles the fourth and was completed at the beginning of the 15 the century.

Amother view of the bridge.

Que?.... Anyone knows how this works?
I, Carl, think he has an invisible pole in his buttocks or the guy on the ground has a magnetic north head and the floating guy has same pole in his buttocks


An ordinary street In Prague. Spot Carl.

And we met up with cousin Mats and Else at the Hotel Paris......

.... en route to the salsa party. Here we have birthday girl Paulina having exhausted husband Magnus in a wild salsa


Prague style mojita, a bucket with straws shared with Magnus and Else. How do I  know, at 2 am, which is my straw?
