May 23 - the last day in Prague and airport saga.

Today is our last fun day to roam around Prague.
Woke up early to a lovely breakfast at our hotel. It was in the basement with walls like a cave.

We checked out of our hotel, stashing all our suitcases and overflow bags into the lobby suitcase room so we could walk around town and retrieve them later when we taxi to the airport hotel.

Hit the streets on our way to the Charles Bridge, stopping at some really cool shops like a puppet shop, and a kitchen gadget store.

                                                   About to walk the Charles Bridge.

The bridge was packed, but not as busy as a Saturday or Sunday would be. A man and woman where playing classical violin, a four piece jazz band which Mom loved and had her picture taken with them. We got her the CD so she could play the memories later on. Lots of artists, including a pair of young men with an original setup posing as monks.

We ate trdelnik, ice cream and snacks, drank beer, enjoyed the day

 then arrived back at the hotel to retrieve our suitcases and ride out to the airport to check into our last hotel for the night and early departure in the morning. When we got to the room we discovered we were missing one suitcase! Called the downtown hotel we had just checked out of, and there it was, sitting in the lobby. A taxi was called and the errant suitcase was collected and brought to us.

We did a dry run to the terminal for Mom so she would be comfortable checking out in the morning and checking her suitcase and getting her boarding pass for her flight to South Africa in the morning, then a last dinner and repacking of suitcases and bed.
