... 8217;re just stupid tourists” line probably not successfully used here in twenty years (or if at all, considering the general lack of humour apparent), there was nothing to do but cough up the dough and hope they didn’t detain us too long.

... some American girls and myself managed to get lost. I took a walking tour which showed me around Prague and game me some history. The tour guide was good and there was only four of us on the tour which made it more personal. On one of the days I teamed up with Shaun and went out to a bone church which was interesting.
