Having had our fill of old buildings, museums and general historicalness really retail therapy was the only answer. Prague provided this remedy. Armed with comfortable shoes, roomy bags and loaded gold plated diamond incrusted visa (not) we set out.
We love markets. Jess loves markets. Set the scene. Jess peering at the creepy witch puppets hanging at the corner stall. Enter Abby and whitey and small group large men lounging in store behind. All is calm. Enter stall owner sneakily claps hands, stall transforms in to cackling, red eyed jiggling puppets. Whitey: surprised, Abby: taken aback, lounging men: no reaction, Jess: JUMPS, SCREAMS grabs Whitey then Abby, more screaming, lounging men: laugh loudly. Store owner: priceless.
Not that we felt bad about being in this beautiful medieval city and only shopping but decided to hike to the Palace and Basilica on the hill. Picture tells a thousand words.
Shopping experience rated by items purchased:
4th: abby with 3, 3rd kath with 5, 2nd whitey with 6, making jess the big spender with a grand total of 7 items.
Success. Cured. maybe.
