After Gibby's mysterious and unwarranted disappearance on Charles Bridge we were finally all reunited in Old Town Square. A celebratory ice cream followed the reunion before we headed to the Salvador Dalí exhibition.

The museum featured a wealth of information on what Czech society and life was like under the Communist regime from...
