Someone thought that it would be a great activity for our gang to go on a beer boat on the Vltava River in Prague. I admit that it was rather strange to have a beer boat activity in the morning, but we had plans that afternoon so the beer boat went to the morning slot. I know it is a bit early to be drinking but that is what happened. Naturally, there were boxes of beer on board the boat and it was already paid for by everyone so, it will be there whether you drink it or not. I’m not much of a drinker and I only had a couple of cans. At least, I can still pedal.

We had a guide on board the boat was well and we will be guided to the sights along the river. This was all in English so this was great for us. The guide is also aware of some craziness that goes on in these types of beer boats though I don’t think we do anything of those. The boat goes through a scenic part of the river past some beautiful buildings. However, if you ask me, most of the beautiful buildings are all further in and it would hard to see them from the river. I guess the most important landmark here would be the Charles Bridge. It is a beautiful stone bridge which crosses the Vltava River. It was completed in 1402 and for a while was the only way to cross the river on foot.
