... breakfast! Or ever really! Before all the hunters could come out and admire their colleagues work we decided to head out. I still don’t understand how people can be so proud of luring an animal into an open space with food and then shooting it in the head. I mean if you wrestled it to the floor with your bare hands then good for you….if the dear had lasers for eyes then good for you….but seriously…you just shot an unknowing dear in ...

we finally arrive, after twisting jules arm relentlessly, but too late for the bus, cannot wait for two more hours, so we jump in a taxi only to find we have booked ourselves into the gulag, no i mean it. we are staying in prisoner cell block F. we think of crying, but dont want to show fear to the locals.

we do manage to find a ...

... the whole hotel is empty! We get room 16 on the 3rd floor. We go up to see it and when we open the door it smells of smoke, so we go back down to ask for a non-smoking room. We are now on the 1st floor in a non-smoking room. It is huge. All the furniture looks hand-crafted.

We notice the man has several large ...

... br>We leave and go to see the colonnades, these are fancy walkways with pillars that have little fountains where the thermal water comes out. People are walking along with fancy china cups. The handles are really spouts to drink the water from. They go to the water taps, fill their cups and stroll along drinking the water. The water is warm and at some stops hot water.

We bought a very tiny cup and tried the water. I ...

Sitting in the living room of the house that will be 'homebase' for the next few months. Weird to think that this time last week we were just pootling around Sydney doing our thing!

Trip via HongKong was great - 2 nights and two days of shopping overwhelm and yummy food. We managed to cram in quite a bit pulling a marathon 12 hour day seeing the sights. Jarrad had the benefit of my shopping expertise and made some good purchases!

Arrived in Munich on my ...

... then enjoyed a lunch of duck,dumplings and sweet and sour cabbage. I swear Greece and Czech Republic have the best food in the world. I am going to miss it. We will return tomorrow to Amsterdam to connect with our flight home. We are hoping to make the Anne Frank museum if the lines are not too long.

... tale town, but it was so windy we couldn't stay long. The only way up or down was on an old squeeky elevator since they were re-painting the stairs so we had to wait like a herd od sheep to squeeze into it. Yesterday took us to a REAL castle, 750 years old and just like a fairy tale surrounded by a river moat. It was complete with torture chambers and dungeons,( our favorite part and the best haunted house ever!) and a tower to keep the princesses safe-pics to ...

... to find out that it is no longer in business. We also went to see the famous astrological clock that has a skeleton pulling the bell chimes on the hour (we'll post the video when we return). Celina also had some fun at another sekach (thrift store) and had fried cheese on a bun from a street vendor (and she didn't get sick). Speaking of food, one of our visits in Prague was to my aunt Liba's, who lived through communism as a ...

... I am not going to marry yet ;-) I also found out that in this area USA has the biggest military practice area of Europe. Grafenwohr is No-go-zone for anybody. From here trained soldiers are sent to Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Training and god knows what more they do there...Should we Europe be glad about this? The old woman adviced me to go to Flossenbürg, where there is a high-tec museum about the old Concentration work camps during the second ...

... how beautiful this city is. My only source is going to be the Marienbad Tourism website: http://www.marianske-lazne.info/en The images have been made available for download on the website by the Marienbad tourism office and I think we have the same goal of telling everyone about their beautiful town.
