Good news, bad news

The transport system around Prague is excellent and cheap. You can get to where you want to go on the trams without too much effort . The question then is, why are we doing 23,000 steps a day?
Anyway, first stop was the markets somewhere near a river, that I assume is the main river of Prague. We walked along the shore and witnessed the finish of a rowing race. But that's not a market so the search continued. What we found was a tiny food market. We were after flea markets. Fail. 
We searched Google and onto a tram we got. Some time later, we went past our starting point for the day and continued until Annette put the kibosh on the whole market thing, due the probability of rain. So we got off the tram, got on another and made our way to somewhere with old buildings, a river and a bridge, all of which were being covered by the forecast rain.
We went to the John Lennon wall and left with two questions. What? and Why? It's up there with worst advertised attractions ever.
I took a pic of a big baby's bum statue and then had the song 'Head Knocker' by Foreigner stuck in my head. I must have got water on my brain.
From there we headed back home for some lunch and a rest, until we left again for our guided tour of the Castle area. Another good tour with lots of walking, a tram ride and best of all.....The Good News.
It's hard to read, but the sign says "using toilets is free of charge".
A true religious miracle at the church of St Vitus Cathedral.
The tour was rain free, and as soon as it finished, it rained.
We got onto a tram. So far I have noticed how young people have offered their sets on the tram to older people. It's quite nice, until ENTER BAD NEWS HERE, someone  offers their seat to you.
Back home we went for delicious homemade burgers and microwaved chips made from real spuds, which were excellent. 23,000 steps and exhausted.
