Prepositions of place

I arrived in the Czech Republic on the 24th of August in 2001. I travelled for eleven hours by plane from South Africa. I was born in the city of Cape Town. I could see Table Mountain from the window of my flat. It really does look like a table and when there are white clouds, they cover it like a tablecloth. You can hike up or down or take the special cable car. The views from the top are wonderful. There is a 360 degree view of the city below, with the Atlantic Ocean on one side, and the Indian Ocean on the other. I came to Prague to work as a teacher in a language school. I live in Vysehrad in a flat on the ground floor. Now I can see the walls of the Vysehrad fortress from the window of my flat and I travel to
work by tram.

At Christmas time, I drink mulled wine, wear a coat, a hat on my head, a scarf around my neck and gloves on my hands to keep warm. When I have visitors from home, I like to take them across the famous Charles Bridge and up the hill to Prague Castle and we walk around the city, along the River Vltava.
