Prague is beautiful. The houses of Lesser Town clutter together in a small dense area with nostalgically old Renaissance windows, Baroque cupolas and Classical facades. What makes it all the more amazing is how it has all survived the ravages of time including two world wars. Flanked by natural banks, the river Vltava flows through Prague. Its waters are clear and a regal shade of deep blue this winter despite not being completely clean.
Someone once told me that Czechs aren't friendly at all. Sadly, I found this to be true. (Well, at least during one instance.) So there I was trying to buy a 10Kč (crowns) postcard with a 50Kč note when the shopkeeper, Mr. No-Small-Money barked at me, "No small money! Ten crowns!" It's a real pity because Camel and her family are the complete opposite.
