I also made it back to the map shop near the Prague’s main station, to .  The shop assistant starting looking nervous when I was pulling out lots of maps, insisting that she put them back.  When I told her I was going to buy all the ones I had pulled out she looked a little surprised.  I came away with Ethiopia, Eritrea, Congo (Democratic Republic of) and Nepal.  The map shop in London in a similar place to get good maps.
