Danube River Cruise day 10. Discovering Prague

imageDAY  10. – Wednesday, Apr. 20: – Today we spent as a day of our leisure. Everyone decided to start by walking to the Jewish 1/4 and take in the Maisel Synagogue. From there we went to the Pinkasova Synagogue with walls and walls of the names of all who parished in the Terezin concentration camp. There was also a room dedicated to the drawings done by children that were in the camp. We could not hold back the tears. How could humans do this to one another…. Yes defiantly a profoundly moving experience. Then on to the Old Jewish Cemetery were due to lack of space had to bury their deceased 12 deep. A few of the girls decided to go back and spend some more time checking out the Charles Bridge.

After the Jewish 1/4 we split up into smaller groups and had a chance to have street food and more shopping for that most important keepsake. Can’t wait to have my morning tea in my Prague mug.

At the end of the day some took in the lights of Prague by a river boat cruise.   The lights of the city looked amazing. I am sure they enjoyed it.
