In Search of Gabriela Sabatini

This blog is now essentially an archive of my round the world trip of 2006. One hundred and twenty four days, spanning five continents in an almost constant eastward direction. Start in February for trip proper, go to the bottom of the page for the apposite quote but mostly just enjoy. The first step you take is out the door.

Photo Round Up Prague

As promised...

That is the view down Wencelas Square...

National Museum at the top of Wencelas Square...

And at the foot of the Museum, you find this raised cross in the ground, in memory of where Jan Palach fell, following the self-immolation...

More of the same...

Namesti Jana Palacha, the Square named after Jan Palach, one bridge down from Charle's Bridge

Death mask on the Rudolfinium, at the side of the Square

Plus flowers, the anniversary of Jan Palach's death takes place on the 19th January and I visited just over a week and a half later

Memorial hidden away on Wencelas Square to Jan Palach & Jan Zajic (another who followed his example), the inscription on the plaque reads: "To the victims of Communism"

Jan Palach's grave in Olsany Cemetary

Another grave shot

Took this shot whilst attempting to find Radio Free Europe HQ
