I went window shopping and had a wander around Old Town Square and the side streets in that area. It's full of lovely little shops round there selling Czech glass and crystal. Some of it is plain old tourist tat, but some of the shops had some gorgeous things in, although very expensive. We have discovered that Prague is not cheap like it used to be for shopping, eating or drinking.

We have spoken to some people who live here and they have said the prices have gone up loads in the last 5 years but their average earnings have not so it's difficult for locals to live in Prague centre now and expensive for them to live in Prague in general.

On the night we went to the Image Theatre which is just off Old Town Square, to see a play called Studio Clip.

I thought it was excellent, and nothing like I'd ever seen before. Basically a play with no speaking as such, about a director trying to write and direct a horror movie, and in between were shows based on different costumes and lights creating amazing imagery.

It was on for about 1 hour 20 minutes and ant nationality would be able to watch it and enjoy it because of the lack of speaking.

The Image Theatre does not have any booked seating so get there early for a good seat.

There are other theatres in Prague, but I would recommend this one as the Theatre company and plays are so different. 

Afterwards we went to a restaurant called which I would not recommend. Compared to the pasta we had a few nights ago it really wasnt very good and was overloaded with garlic. It was called Restaurace U Supa on Celetna 22, Prague 1. (one to avoid in my opinion!).
