Prague’s Museum Scene

If you like museums, Prague’s got something for everyone…

For the more sophisticated tourist: the Museum of Historical Chamber Pots & Toilets
For those who need art in small doses, the Museum of Miniatures (Anton Chekhov portrait on a cherry pit )
For those who want to touch the famous “Youth” penis (supposed to bring good luck!) and see a great Barbie collection all in one day: The Toy Museum
For those seeking ancient technological artifacts such as floppy discs and Apple IIs
For those who don’t care if the museum’s really hard to get in
For those who need a little va-va-voom in their lives: Sex Machines Museum
And finally, for those who are more Sheriff of Nottingham than Robin Hood: the Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments (unrelated to above museum)

Sept. 19-20: Experiencing Technical Difficulties!!

Pictures will have to be downloaded from Shutterfly, uploaded to WordPress, edited and inserted back into posts. I feel really, really, really sorry for the poor schmuck stuck with that job.

Three obwarzanki in hand, I returned to the bus, all good. All good at least until we arrived in Ostrava (Czech Republic), where we had a one-hour wait for our train to Prague, and I discovered that my change purse was gone.
