G'day from Cesky Krumlov!
Well, our time in Czech Republic is almost spent. Seen a bunch of old historical stuff (yes im not completely culturally insensitive - despite what you all may believe), drunk a vast amount of ridiculously cheap insanely good beer (cant beat a pint for a buck can you?) and generally enjoyed oursleves.
Getting from Barcelona to PRague was a nightmare - our 3pm flight turned into a 2 hour bus ride north and then a flight at 2am because of a baggage handlers strike or something. So we arrived in Prauge at 5am or something - and trekked kilometres around the next including some great big bloody mountain to look at the church thingy. Told you i appreciated old stuff.
Hostel there we didnt really get into to - looked like a party place, but we kinda kept to ourselves. When the plumbing went bang in there - it was a whole loada fun. Four bloke who have been in humid heat and havent showered for around 40 hours? Am sure you get the drift - if not the stench.
Bus from there to Cesky Krumlov where we are now - and this place is great. Spent last night dancing on a table to an some irish ditties (played by blokes who struggled with English go figure - Rob and Jules - they do speak English there dont they? Hey Vat - is what you speak considered English???)
Place is real old school - caters for the tourists a lot, but its nice and relaxed. Paddled 15km down the river, saw another castle and drank more beer. Mmm - Budweiser Czech stye rocks...
Not much else ive got for now - off to London tomorrow, spend two nights there before the tour starts.
Love ya long time!
