When you tell people you're going to Prague they all have the same first reaction, "I LOVE Prague! You have to walk across the Charles Bridge." We loved Prague too...and we did walk across the bridge, repeatedly...
This is where St. John of Nepomuck (who incidentally was already dead at the time, having been executed by King Wenceslas) was thrown from the bridge. Legend has it that if you place your hands in front of the memorial and make a wish, he will grant it.
This is the statue of St. John of Nepomuk...touching this spot is said to bring good luck and ensure a return to Prague. We touched both the statue and the memorial...we'll take all the help we can get!
