Paddle Boats on the River Prague

Alex has been dying to have a go on the paddle boats so we found some in Prague and her and Cathy had a go.  We sat and watched them from the office, where the boys running it were drinking beer behind the counter and having cigarettes!  Imagine if we did that at home?  Can you imagine going to Rainbows End and waiting for them to finish their beer before you get any service???!!!!

 Cathy and Alex report that the water is really dirty and disgusto, but they seemed to have fun anyway.  They went all round the little island in the river, but were bound in by the fords in the river where they maintain the levels of the river somehow.  There also appears to be quite a distance between the low levels and the high levels of the river, from pictures around the place.  Also it looks like heaps of stuff comes down the river and can block it up.  I guess it all works out because the bridges are pretty old, all things considered.
