Kirsten’s been sick for about a week now, and it didn’t appear to be getting much better on its own. Armed with Google and our trusty city map we decided to take the plunge and track down a hospital. Have I mentioned I love both Google and our map (DK Eyewitness Travel’s “Top 10 Prague”) immensely? Well, I do. This map is unbelievably helpful… we’d be lost without it.
Anyways, we Googled a hospital within a few blocks of our apartment, and found it without any problems. The woman at the information desk didn’t speak much English, but with some pointing and assistance from an English-speaking local in line behind us we were send off to the ORL building (like ear-nose-throat specialists, I think). No English signs to be found, so we wandered down the street a bit, found the building, opened a few doors, and finally found what looked like a waiting room. Within 30 mins max we were in with a doctor – wish our system was as easy as Prague’s! The doctor was awesome, and we now have antibiotics and some bacteria-fighting throat lozenges in our grubby little hands… time to get better 
It’s about 1:30pm here now, so we’ll probably walk around a bit and enjoy the 30 degree weather. Hopefully booking a big city tour tomorrow complete with a boat ride, admission to a number of important buildings, a medieval lunch, and a free ticket for the Ghost Trail (haunted Prague) tour after dark. Should be an awesome day!
