Scaffolding and work being done on buildings seems to be the bane of my life which can be annoying when one has gone to a certain place to see that landmark. However, that wasn’t my first Bond location of the day as before that I had ascended Vitkov Hill which wasn’t too easy due to the very icy paths and steps and also because it was actually roped off but as no-one was around I ignored that and climbed up to find the Vitkov monument under reconstruction. I had almost given up on trying to locate Danube House (Karolinska 650/1), the fairly new office block where it was filmed, when I found it almost by accident and mightily relieved to find it I was as it had been a slow start to my morning. This was shot near to my hostel in the Karlin district on the banks of the Vlatva River in Prague. The 2006 re-boot of the 007 franchise begins in black and white with James Bond (Daniel Craig) earning his licence to kill.
