Charles Bridge Museum
Visited the Charles Bridge Museum, this was a great place to visit as the construction of the bridge began in 1357 and was finished being built in the beginning of the 15th century. The Charles Bridge was the link between Prague Castle and Old Town and the only way to cross the river Vltava until 1841. In the Museum you could walk down underneath and see different layers of bridge that had been constructed at different times. Under the bridge there is also a church from the middle ages when the church went underground, literally! There were statues of Jesus and Mary behind rock pillars and the pulpit was built into rock, kind of earthy smelling and amazing to look at. It is brillant how all these places were made with people power and limited resources compared with what we have today.
Corban and Leo have both been given bikes along with a pile of toys from a neighbour and a family leaving. We still need to get some training wheels for Leo, but the kids didn't mind sharing. It was so nice that they were given so much stuff after giving away or selling pretty much everything they had!
