Day two in Prague

Friday was our first full day in Prague. The hotel had internet access but it didn't work too well in our room but it did work in the breakfast room, so after dragging Colett away from Starship battles on Facebook and posting silly messages on my Facebook by accident we headed off into town. The light wasn't so good but we decided to explore the National Museum at the head of Wenceslas Square.The museum is rather dated and dusty a little how I remember museums such as the National Museum in Edinburgh from my childhood, no interactive displays here; just a slightly scary lady "guard" with the second most unbelievable wig I have ever seen and rows and rows of stuffed animals and fossils.
There is also a memorial to Jan Palach who set fire to him self in 1969 as a protest against the Russians presence in Prague.

We then went to explore the Jewish Quarter of the City, the Pinkas Synagogue is one of the many there, the walls are covered with the names of the many thousands of people from the area who's lives were lost in the holocaust; 77,279 people.

The weather then got a bit cold and wet, the perfect excuse to find a bar, the one Sarah and John had recommended to us The Hany Bany. were we had a "few" beers and the wandered back to the Hotel via the most surreal Tescos well it seemed odd to us but maybe that was the beer but it only sold booze, chocolates, stationary and toiletries;just the essentials of life then.
