We strolled to our Wittman Tours meeting point in front of the Intercontinental Hotel and Parizska is full of designer shops for many blocks. Fortunately Zegna and Boss only open at 10 when our bus leaves. They also appear to be filming a movie in the nearby square. It feels like we are in Paris and just crossed over to the Right Bank from the Left Bank, which is of course more Bohemian. Speaking of "Bohemian" Milos explained the origins of that word (which I can't quite explain quickly or coherently) and how it became the name of the local population here.
It's now a bit after 10 and no sign of the bus. Time to sneak into Boss for a bit?
On a more serious note, our visit to the Terezin "show camp" will serve as a stark contrast to the normal and prosperous feel of today's Prague and an adjunct to the Holocaust Memorial contained in the Jewish Museum. I'm sure we will post about it later.
