Sunday, May 23rd: Walking Tour

It was not time to check in to our hotel yet, so we all loaded our luggage into the highly guarded, steel wall enforced, laser protected conference room. AKA a room that had everyone's important valuables in it with a door that remained open and unwatched. Some of the girls were already putting on their 7th outfit of the trip so far, and everyone else headed to the bar to start drinking some delicious Pilsners...well delicious for the first one, not so much after the 20th.

Our tour guide met up with us and began to take us through the historic streets of Prague. The first sight we saw was a three year old with his pants down, and a mother aiming his urination into a sewer grate located in the middle of the road. This was about right.

Our tour continued and we saw several churches we could not enter, graveyards we had to try to catch a glimpse of over a high wall, and synagogues that we should "tour later". Um aren't we on a tour!? Several tourists were purchasing Yamakas that had different messages on them and wearing them laughing at how fun they were. Keep it classy Prague!

Our tour group of females who couldn't control their bladder led us to our first annoying European experience; the pay toilet. I actually had to go really bad, and ended up borrowing money from the tour guide whom I never paid back. When I returned to the group, we noticed there were free porta-potties set up right next door. BAH!

After some Prague food and not walking across the most famous attraction in the city we headed back to check into our hotels. The rooms weren't terrible, but the tiny little beds 2 feet away from my male roommate made me slightly uncomfortable.
I took a shower, which consisted of some kind of half glass panel that kept 0 water in the shower. The showerhead was at my stomach level and I had to get on my knees to wash my hair. I fell twice and the bathroom floor looked like it was about to be mopped, covered in soap & water. One group of ladies who were three to a room, had 2 beds and a cot, and their shower was just a showerhead aimed at the bathroom floor which had a drain on it.

So that was a fun little walking tour, and much more fun to come!
