Today we ventured across the famous Charles Bridge into the beautiful area of Malá Strana. Our first stop was at the Lennon Wall created in the 1980’s by young Czechs to protest against communism. After John Lennon’s murder the wall was painted with his image and turned into a memorial. The secret police white washed the wall multiple times and to their failure the following days the wall was full of messages and poems. Today the wall is a symbol of peace and is full of graffiti and messages in languages from all around the world. Unfortunately we didn’t have a marker or paint so we’ll have to go back to write on it.

After the Lennon Wall we found the Petrin Lookout Tower which is a 62 meter tall Effile Tower lookalike. We took an elevator to the top and saw some of the most amazing views overlooking Prague.
