    Little Venice?

    October 7, 2015 in Czech Republic ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    Last day in Prague was a bit grey and drizzly. Still lots to see and do. We wandered down towards the Charles Bridge looking for an area that was described as Prague's version of Venice, complete with canal. I thought I knew where it was but I was wrong (now there's a surprise). But we did find a boat cruise leaving in 5 minutes which included... Little Venice. It was a good tour and just the thing for a drizzly day. The guy driving the boat and providing commentary didn't think that Little Venice was remotely like Venice but that it had been used in movies - mainly as it was cheaper - The League of Gentlemen for one.
    After our boat ride we still had plenty of time to wander around on our own. We tracked down the Lennon Wall (as in John) which was the site of various protests against the Russians and came complete with stories of the Russians painting it all out only to find it all back again the next day.
