Bellville The Lodge Prague

... take a route we hadn't taken yet. Unfortunately it was starting to rain and it was getting quite cold outside. We tried to walk as far as we could to get back but we decided to just hop on a tram and on the way back stopped at the supermarket. Me and Denis picked up some snacks, fruit, beer as well as stuff for breakfast for tommorow. We got eggs, toast, meat and yogurt. We finally made it back to the hostel just in time for ...

... though when it started to rain!!! We had to stay under a Bridge for 30 minutes until the rain stopped where Mike played Would you rather (AGAIN!) with things he found under the bridge:

"Would you rather eat a dead bird...feathers and all...OR lick the old dirty cobwebbed lamp post clean and then drink water from the river?" That's a *******e.

We ended our day with a traditional Czech dinner and folklore dancing and singing.

Next stop: Vienna

... start drinking when there 13. I thought i was the only one that did that. I also happened to run into a guy that i had met in Amsterdam which was pretty cool. Small world huh? So i havent seen much of Prague except trams so i will write more when i have something to write about. Time to figure out whats after Munich. So many possibilities. Dan

... is 50 times as large, and was built for the extermination. It was 150 hectares, wit barbed wire fences as far as the eye could see. The prisoners stood in 2 huge lines, in front of a doctor who pointed either right (which meant they were going to die), or left (which means that they could be imprisoned and used to work and build for the nazi's) The ones that were going to die, didnt know they were going to, they were told they were going for a shower (as many had travelled weeks on the ...

... was exactly where I was... Eastern Europe! We got to the main part of town and split up, got some money, and had some lunch at a typical Czech restaurant. They don' t use the Euro here, they use Krounes. It was strange because 2000 Kroune was about 80 Euro, so getting although it wasn' t as much as it seemed like it should be, it was fun to hold a bill that said 2000 on it! After lunch, we went and walked around just ...

... s top Prague recommendations. Miraculously, we managed to get off at the right stop (those Czech names are still confusing us), but the citadel itself wasn't very exciting-just a park enclosed by fortress walls with a graveyard on the inside. So we've returned to our little hotel to gear up for the symphony tonight at the main musical hall in Prague. And of course, to seek out more pilsners and pubs tonight before hopping on the train to Vienna tomorrow! Stay tuned....

... have brought one thought to the forefront: What, or now more aptly, WHO am I living for? 1. If I am living for myself, then I should be trying to make as much money as I can, amassing as much wealth as I can and trying to provide as much entertainment, enjoyment and carnal satisfaction as I can my whole life. 2. If I am living for God, I should become a monk/priest and abondon all my belongings and serve God preaching, spreading the word and the like. 3. If I am ...

... night we left a note on the communal table saying where we were going for a drink and most of the hostel turned up to join us. Afterwards we paid the equivalent of 10 bucks for a bottle of vodka and absinth and brought them home to the hostel for a couple more drinks. Today we are going to the Selec Ossuary in a town called Kutna Hora, about an hour from Prague. The church has been ...

... cheap margaritas. Sunday night really wasn't much of a night to go out with a bang especially considering our impressive track record, and i felt the eyes of weariness set in at 1am, and scored a cab ride home with an extraordinarily beefy Czech woman. It was the first time i'd come across a female cab driver anywhere, certainly at 1am in the evening. Dove into my dorm bed soon after, listened to some tunes and cosied into my deep mattress into a state of much needed sleep.

... in the restaurant were British and German and were also older than we were. I guess they don't realize that North Americans generally tip better than either the British or the Germans! Needless to say, our server didn't find out that how generous we are (i.e., no tip for you!)! (Interestingly, the men were the servers in the evening - when the tips would be good - and the women worked the breakfast buffet when there would be few tips.) We did not find people ...
