New Year Joyride through Prague

Every year, the first Saturday is the day of New Year Joyride through Prague. It's a tradition few men with Willyses and other old Jeeps started years ago. There are more Jeeps now. And in fact, it doesn't matter that much if you have old or new Jeep.

It all starts at Kampa and the convoy goes and stops at Prague castle, at Jana Palacha square right in front of Rudolfinum, then at Old Town square and finishes at Wenceslas square. Quite a ride.

I don't have to tell you that it causes a lot of excitment everywhere :)

... and here are some photos from this year's Joyride through Prague.

Another one from Transparency in Prague

This one is from Jana Palacha square. In front of Rudolfinum.

Midnight benches

Hope you had nice holidays and are ready for New Year's celebration :)

So, I have this very non-Christmassy photo of benches at Jana Palacha square for you. I took it a midnight before Christmas Eve. And as it was absolutely empty then, it will be absolutely crowded tomorrow midnight.

Horses at Jana Palacha square

They are quite common here. And popular, too. The main "station" for these horses and carriages is at Old Town square from where you can go on a romantic old-fashioned ride around the historic Prague.

Night ballet lessons

They have ballet lessons here. He stayed at the window only for a few seconds. Then he jumped away. Ballet is a hard work.
