Cruising the Vltava River

Tuesday evening was spent on the Vltava River with a dinner cruise. During the day and evenings, the river is busy with tourists boats. To get down river the boast have to pass through a dyke. This was an experience as the dyke holds around 8 cruise boats squashed together. Once the water level rises or falls depending on which direction you are heading, the cruise boats exit and another lot go in. A queue develops at peak times.
