The Prague Power of Zero

Woke up this morning and attempted to curl the hair. Just makes my forehead look even bigger which made me want to cut my bangs back so bad but I know if I do it before china I will regret it so much.
Selfie. Ha. Walked on the bridge for photos. Then an Asian took a photo of us so we asked him to be in our photo 
Then we made our way to the Prague castle. Incredible views and a lot of stairs to climb.
We went and saw the gorgeous cathedrals
We ate some of this traditional dessert. It's like bread dough rolled on a fat stick and rotated over a fire. They then roll it in cinnamon sugar. 
We are lunch in the cutest cafe ever!
And it had vegetarian food. 
Look at this city. Beautiful right? But way too many people. WAY too many.
Then we started to make our way back to the Jewish district so that we could go to the museum and see the crazy cemetery. But we needed money so Paige and Mikele went to get money and we waited. When they came back they said we had a situation and proceeded to show us this:
That's TWENTY THOUSAND CZK!!! Paige wanted 2,000 but added an extra zero! Thus she got twenty k which is over a thousand in US money. So here we are in a city known for pick pockets with 20k and have been warned repeatedly about exchanging money here. So we hand it out put it in our bras and decided to hurry and see the cemetery we went to get the money for. Except it closed!! So all that for nothing. Now we had a crap ton of money and need to figure out what to do. We find a reputable place and then have to figure out how to exchange it back bc it's a lot of money! After a long time in the place we decided she should get polish money and Hungary money for everyone and we would buy it from her. That took forever to figure out. And now...
What's in your wallet!?
So the lesson is do not add an extra zero.
