Prague, Czech Republic: The Titillation Before Dinner
• Video Link
The long and short of it is that our very first day in Prague was mostly spent fighting with balky machines at a laundromat, because we'd only packed a week's worth of clothing in order to save space in our suitcases. We needed to wash away the filth of Vienna in order to begin collecting the filth of Prague, and the washing machines weren't especially interested in letting us do so, let alone the dryers. But in the end we got it taken care of, although the process involved having to ask at three different businesses if we could break large Czech krona notes, and eventually having to negotiate the process, because nothing is so repulsive to Czech business owners, apparently, as their country's own currency. In the end we ended up having to purchase coffees, a chocolate tart, and a piece of carrot cake to make it happen, and we sat there chewing, drinking, and watching our clothes thrash around behind the glass.
And once that was all over, we headed over to our hotel, were utterly charmed, unpacked, then headed out to the Sex Machines Museum and then dinner.
These photos are fairly tame, considering what all you could view at the Sex Machines Museum.
