The Lennon Wall

I returned to Charles Bridge and decided to go and look for the Lennon Wall. Once adorned with a mural of John Lennon, the wall became a focus for youth unrest in the final days of communist rule. Since the 1990s, the wall has been whitewashed over many times, and is permanently daubed with tourist graffiti. It's not the place of protest it once was.

When I found it, there were crowds of tourists trying to take photos. I managed to get close enough to take a few of my own 😀.

You could have had all kinds of cake coatings and other fillings and toppings. It was nice, but I couldn't finish it. I ate the ice-cream and took the rest home to have for breakfast!

I also bought a selection of nuts, including some sugar-free chocolate-coated ones, from the biggest, most colourful sweet and nut shop I've ever seen 😀.Read more
