29th November 2014

Well, as you can see the weather has not changed all the time we have been here. It has been between -2 and +2 degrees with a thick grey cloud the entree time. I cannot say it makes for very interesting lighting in photographs.

Today we travelled out on the excellent tram system to the Exhibition Grounds in Greater Prague. This area is an example of the influence that the Soviet occupation has had on the city and country with some stunning buildings falling into ruin. It was actually the 'Annual Boat and Vehicle Expo.' which is amusing in a land-locked country. Unlike the displays at Earls Court and the Excel Centre there were just a few Hummers and a Land Rover driving over steep slopes. The building is the 'Industry Palace' built in 1928. I was impressed by the spiral staircase leading up to the central tower - there is no way I'd walk up that!
Fab architecture.

Very interesting and different building. I wouldn't do the spiral staircase either.
