Prague

When we got to Prague Friday night, we didn’t really do a whole lot. We just got settled in, did some laundry in the bathtub, and made a few calls from my skype. Skype has to be one of the greatest inventions ever made. I got to call my mom for about 2 cents a minute. It was really nice to be able to actually talk to her and see how everything was going on at home.
We didn’t get up Saturday morning until about 10 o’clock. It was pretty nice. Then we went into city central and got something to eat before walking around for a bit. We found belly dancers. That was...... interesting. Then we found out that Heather’s card still wasn’t working because her bank was updating things and froze her card because she was overseas. So we had to go back to the hotel so she could call them and ended up taking a bit of a nap waiting for it to get late enough that the bank would be open back in the States. Then, once she managed to get everything resolved, we went back into old town, got dinner, did some souvenir shopping and went on a ghost tour. That was pretty awesome. We went on the tour with a couple Germans and a couple Norwegians and we had this really funny British guy dressed in a massive grim reaper costume as our guide. He had a pretty twisted sense of humor. It was amazing. And it was rainy during the whole tour which made it even more perfect, in my opinion. Then we just went back to the hotel and crashed out for the night.
Sunday morning we slept in again but not quite as late. Once we finally got going, we went to get something to eat and then just spent the day shopping and going to museums. We went to the Ice Age Museum, the History of Chocolate Museum, the Museum of Torture, and the Wax Museum. It was a pretty nice day overall and we had a lot of fun just hanging out.
