B&B Beetle Prague

... down the street and get a picture. A bunch of people were doing just that, standing on some cement posts outside a café and so I said I’d love to and trotted off. I had just stepped up onto the post when I heard a cry and suddenly the crowd had turned and was stampeding towards me.

I turned to run but they were already all around me, smashing into glasses and tables. Knowing I’d never make it to the door of the caf ...

... morning to see where it had been towed (or at least we hoped it had been towed). We hung out in the hostel and played cards all night (ie drank to forget our problem). Monday morning, Chris and the hostel people tracked down the car and figured out where we needed to go. After a few stops in some incredibly sketchy neighborhoods, we ...

... important to see how humans can be so cruel. Later that night, I went to see Coldplay, a British band that one of the most popular bands in the world today! They released tickets that day, so we had first level row 14 for under $70 Canadian. It was such an amazing show and Chris Martin's piano playing was fabulous! Love you, Miss you Mal PS - Grandpa - I double checked the spelling :) Hopefully this one is better!

... despite all the horrific information we received that day, something good does come from visiting Auschwitz. The Wieliczka Salt Mine on the southeast outskirts of Krakow, has been worked for 900 years. It used to be one of the worlds biggest and most profitable industrial establishments when common salt was commercially a medieval equivalent of today's oil. Always a magnet, since the mid ...

Itinerary : Belgrade - Budapest - Bratislava - Brno - Praha Dates : 12th December to 17th of December 2007 Mileage in Europe : 1600 km Mileage so far : 22550 km. Nothing really exciting on the road as it was a highway road from Belgrade to Budapest. We arrived in the early afternoon in Budapest, so we decided to ride around town before stopping in a hotel. This little ride around town was a nice way to have a first ...

... which doesn’t really seem to exist in Germany.

After the dinner I got a ride home with one of the other teachers which was nice considering it was already dark and I had already gotten my exercise for the day. I must say though walking a couple miles everyday is really nice, it gives me a chance to clear my head and when the weather is nice just enjoy being outside. It keeps me in good shape too, I barely even tired out playing 2 hours of ...

... too loud. We should have stuck with the sight seeing because things didn't get much better after that. We ended up going back home to change real quick and go out for the night. The first place we went to was fun but we got thrown out of there also. Apparantly they over charged for some drinks and one of the guys got ****** and threw our whole group out. So we went back to the 5 story and stayed till they closed. After a quick ...

This morning we did Claire, Becca's and Sophie's tour of the Old Town Square, it was wet and absolutely freezing. We also went to a cafe in the square and learned to avoid the tourist hotspots...the other girls paid around £10 for a hot chocolate and ...

... that you enter the station, where lets face it - they got you. You have to exchange money before you can go anywhere. Now the money has yet to make sense to me. But my $160 came back to me in paper with 1000 marked on some of it and also one with 100 marked on it. I used the 100 for a taxi and was handed 2 coins back. I am literally clueless as to what he gave me. I have been using the currency conversion on the internet, so I know this room was about $95 a night with tax and ...

... and his father was taken prisoner, so as the oldest, Josev had to go to work. His family's house was destroyed by bombs twice- this guy did not have an easy upbringing to say the least. Then the Russians liberated the country. For a couple years after the war there was peace and the Czechs pretty much ruled themselves, then there was a coup and the government toppled leading to 40 years of Communist control. Josev pointed out to me the rusting iron fixtures ...
