Ahoj!

I really like Prague so far.  Partly because its quite a fairytale like city, and partly because we seem to have this magic thing here where we walk around with no real idea where we are, and end up where we want to be.  Like getting to Old Town square, we just strolled in an upwards direction, and suddenly there we were standing in front of the clock.

But I'm getting a head of myself, our day didn't start quite so interestingly.  it started with laundry.  The hostel man had marked a couple of places on the map that he said were laundromats, so we took a walk to the closest one, and discovered a dry cleaners.  So we went on to the next one and discovered a dry cleaners that also had washing machines.  It seems that Prague doesn't really have do it yourself laundromats, just dry cleaning places which also do laundry.  So it was a bit expensive, but we just left our laundry with the lady and came back a couple of hours later after lunch and were handed a bag full of freshly cleaned, dryed and folded clothing.  Rather nice actually.  It also meant we were around the hostel for lunch, so managed to put together a rough pasta meal aka a lunch that wasn't a bread roll.

After laundry and lunch we went for our stroll.  Prague is very walkable.  Quite aside from the strange quality where you end up where you want to be without knowing how, it didn't take us long and we made it up to the Jewish cemetery (though not in, still tossing up whether 12 euro is worth it).  Prague is so gorgeous though, theres just lovely buildings every where, and on the walk home we walked by the river and you get an amazing view across the river and up the hill to Prague castle. 

I also bought today a coin from 1800 (It may be fake but I choose to believe the sweet girl in the cute antique store) to make into a necklace, something you really couldn't do in NZ.
