We took a dinner cruise on the Vltava River in a glass-domed boat simply because we had taken one in Budapest when we were there a couple of years ago and the lighted buildings reflected on the river were gorgeous. Prague’s waterfront is not quite as impressive at night and it turned out to be even more difficult to photograph. First of all, it rained during most of the trip and rain on a glass domed roof does not make for great photos. And it’s dark out, and the boat is moving. So between both of us, we managed to get a whopping 3 photos! And we didn’t even think to get a photo of the boat. Then at one point during the cruise, the boat hit a rock wall on one side and we realized we were also only a couple of feet from the opposite wall. And then we sat there for quite some time. We thought we were stranded! Then the walls next to the boat started to get shorter and we discovered that without our realizing it, we had gotten into river locks and once the water reached a certain height, we moved on again. We didn’t know there were locks in this area. Now we need to check out that area in the daylight and see what’s up with that.

Here are the only 3 photos we got that were worth sharing.
