Stromovka Park

The amazing thing about living in Prague and the location I am at is that we are about a ten minute walk from two amazing parks. Actually we are right in the middle of the two. The first one you have seen pictures from, Letna Park, a park perched up on a hill overlooking all of Prague. The second park is called Stromovka Park. This park is even bigger than Letna and has a couple of ponds in it along with a waterfall. It’s actually really beautiful with trees everywhere, my favourite being the willows which run along some of the paths making it a great place to go for a run. When you’re in the park, you actually feel like you’re not in a city of close to two million people and feel like you could be out in the country.

So this past Friday Arielle and I went to the park to explore around as I had only ever run through it and Arielle had never been there. We had a great time walking through the leaves and feeding the ducks at the pond. Granted I couldn’t believe how friendly the ducks were and had a couple of close calls where they almost pooped on my shoe! Here are a couple of pics...

Pretending we're photographers and trying to take cool pictures...turned out not too bad.
