... I could see it in James’ eyes that he was desperately seeking out the pros and trying so badly to make the best of the situation – but when it comes down to it, my safety comes first to him (he’s a good guy that way).

... and gas station. Majority of the tour went to the McDonalds and spent almost double normal prices and a few of us (who refused to eat ****** food) went and got fresh deli sandwiches from the gas station for under 3 euro (they accepted both euro and czech krone as the czech republic is now in their transition to adopting the euro within the next 3 years). We drove from about 11:35 to 2:15 into Germany with a surprise stop at Dachau concentration camp.

... out of the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy first gets to the Yellow Brick Road and the Lolly Pop song is sung...right down to the very small doorways. Or for you nerds out there...think the Hobbit. I also felt as if this Lane was more of a tourist trap because the cottages were now inhabited by overpriced tourist "crafts" instead of Hobbits.

... Navigator" that night). We got to our dorm room and were instantly greeted by a Japanese dude who was pleased to see my black metal shirt- we quickly got talking and Briggzy got talking to a Japanese girl called Miho. I ran up to the bar and many beers were purchased for a good price, soon enough we had dragged two Texans (who were very nice guys- although they seemed to think no one outside the US knew anything about it- although the fact the words "**** off USA" were written on every ...

... with Lauren about 'Home and Away', and 'East Enders', that we both get! hahaha! - Cheers Loz! Us 4 kept on goin for the night, and headed into the centre of the city to pub crawl. We went to a couple of pubs, and i can definatly say you havn't seen Prague untill you've wondered the streets drunk late at night.
