A couple words on Prague...first of all do not ever go to a currency exchange...not only do they rip you off on the exchange rate but I had this encounter. I was only in Prague for the rest of the day. Amelia and I wanted to go into a museum which cost 190 crowns. So I decide to go to the currency exchange and trade in 10 euros to get 217 crowns. The lady gives me 117 and I knock on the window to let her know about her mistake. She then insists that she gave me 200 and I told her that if she gave me 200 I would have left. The next 30 mins I just insisted that I get my money or get her manager. She calls her manager 3 times and finally she shows up. They count the cash for a fourth time and miraculously the safe is perfectly balanced. The manager said I could write and complain...I told her that I didn't give a damn to complain about 5 euros it's just the fact that I was only in Prague for 4 more hours and just wanted a few bills of their crappy currency to get me through the day.
