the living dead
more of the Vyšehrad (a Christian one)..
and the infamous oldest Jewish cemetery in Europe - at the Josefov..
of course we also visited churches, Karlův most (Charles bridge), sqaures, the Old Town, Pražský hrad (Prague Castle) and many other things. we even managed to see some works of Dali, a little of Mucha and drink beer.
because i adore literary works (both for leisure and quite often, uni) and imagining the world 18th and 19th century writers lived in; because i was captivated by his world, his works and his brilliance, i had to visit Franz Kafka.
so here i am, smiling as a cheesy tourist should, in the graveyard. i've taken one too many of such shots (with Beethoven, Brahms, Shumann etc etc) due to sheer delight of "meeting" someone famous. very much a monologue, really. and i even brought him an orange tulip (next to the damn bunch of yellow plastique ones). graveyard-visiting has become a guide for mine and thomas's travels, almost as important as cathedral or temple-hunting. depending on the country/city, we scour our brains, and the lonely planet, for any famous composers/writers that we both know and plan it into our schedule.
here are two other famous composers we visited while in Prague: Bredřich Smetana and
Antonín Dvořák. they were up at the Vyšehrad hill/castle.
and because we love graveyards so much..
here's more of Žižkov Hill (a Jewish cemetery), where Kafka was buried..
