Easter in Prague

I have been very busy ever since the easter,so I posted nothing about our ester trip in Czech and Germany,but I think I can do it now.
We have been in Prague for 3 days and it's been a great experience. We got there on Tuesday evening,March 18th,It was cold and we felt a little bit tired,but we still got a overview tour of the whole city starting from our hotel and walking through the Henry's Bell Tower,Powder Tower,Astronomical Clock,and reaching the Charles Bridge.Due to the cold weather and the time,we decided to go back to hotel.The new thing to us here was the tram,we didn't have it in Beijing ,and the way back to the hotel was not near,so we got on the tram ,experiencing our first tram riding.

Our hotel was just 4 tram stops from the central station of Prague and someone ever told me that if you wanna know and see the true Prague,it'd be great to visit Prague by walking and I think it's nice to be off the beaten path a bit.One more thing was that after Cesky Krumlov,where we loved the freedom of walking everywhere,we were used to it.
Four photoes below:city view,tram on the street,Tyn Church,statue on Charles Bridge.



One of the most impressive thing I think was that the weather there was very beautiful,though a little bit cold but the sky was blue and clear.We walked along the hundreds years cobble stone street,looking at the beautiful ancient buildings around us,the feeling was really good.
Two photoes below are:Astronomical Clock

We spent nearly the whole day at the Prague Castle,it situated on a hill at the edge of the city,it was quite the hike up there ,but definitely worth it when you got there.The view was amazing!really amazing!
I did have some other folks take pictures of me and the city,but I somehow ended up with my eyes closed in 90% of them..so just see the scenery below.The first one on the left,do you see the cow on that bamboo pole?second one is inside the old royal castle,see that ceilings,awesome,isn't it?the last two is St.Vitus Cathedral.
