Prague: 300 for lunch


Prague was beautiful, but almost unenjoyable. The crowds were worse then a day in Rome or opening day at Schlitterbahn. I heard Sunday was the worst day for touring and now I see why. Just herds of people flooding into the nearest souvenir or marionette store. Followed by a chocolate shop, then another marionette store, then a store with masks. But that's just how their touristy sections of a city are and Prague is banking by selling pretty much whatever they want(considering even I bought a magnet, when I don't even have a magnetic fridge.)The money was confusing and felt as if I kept getting ripped off, probably because I was. It was also really important to watch your purse. You could tell the people that were circling around tourist group just waiting to pick pocket. Luckily nothing happened to us.
It's not that I wasn't impressed by Prague, I was. The building were breathtaking and so was the drive over. I just would have liked to invested either more time there or more time over by the castle. I got a little taste of a day trip but I would need to go back again when it wasn't packed with people.
