Prague

For those of you who have visited Prague you would agree that there is no end of things to do, whether it be drinking wine for breakfast, clubbing it in one of the many underground "vampfests" or taking in the sights of the old cobbled town, none of it compared to my afternoon visit to the Toy Museum.

Situated in the grounds of the castle, on this particular day they had an exhibition we just could not resist. "Barbie Exhibition" read my friend in a squeel so high local dogs were alerted to it. So in we went.

We learned about Barbies journey from cartoon strip to pneumatic creation to various styles throughout the decades. Truly educational!!

An icon who put us to shame we marvelled over her outfits, her collection of friends and many incarnations some a bit more disturbing (pregnant Barbie) than others (Barbie works for PETA).

The Toy museum itself is a wee gem, full of things triggering the nostalgic feelings of desperately "wanting one of those". And if you feel that you may have betrayed yourself you can always step outside and take in some real culture at the cathedral or castle.

    If I am right this exhibition is still on show, if you are in Prague any time soon check it out!

    Definitely a different side to Prague! I can't make up my mind whether this is cool in a kitsch kind of way, or slightly creepy!
