Hotel Filip Ceske Budejovice

... it like an "S". It was a good visit to Cesky Krumlov, but one day is plenty.<br> Today is also September 11th. We kept that in our minds and just can't believe it has already been 8 years.<br> The following day we took another bus to the town of Tabor. This is one of those towns you have to pronounce EXACTLY right or no one will have any clue what you are talking about. Its amusing how locals don't understand our pronunciation. We've just been writing ...

... Foundation were brilliant, woke us up after Jamie. This time the drummer was maximally massive, unbelievable, and the way he played...Brilliant.<br><br>The following day 11th July we saw Jaromir Nohavica-local singer from Ostrava, we just love him here but Romain doesnt understand much just OUI, OUI, OUI, OUIIIIIIIIII in the song about 3 pigs going for a trip.<br>

Stayed a night in Rybnik at Aleks house, the first polish man who picked us up. He offered us his home and hospitality for the night, once again amazing people we meet on this journey and such kind hearts! (im just writing quick entrys since its been a while and I want to write from where I am, not to menntion it would take forever, since no computers at the Rainbow)

We left Olsztyn early in the morning to head to Warszawa by Train. Sadly we arrived late at the train station, so instead we cought a bus a couple of hours later, but this bus was not guaranteed to get to Warszawa in time to get our 15:00 departure to Vienna. We spent a rather stressful 5 hours or so on the bus but ...

... fact that people were also trying to squeeze by on their way down. Fun .. Quite.. After taking a few pictures from the top I managed to get a bus down to the brewery for the tour. I was early.. and folks, if you are ever in a pickle as such you should do the smart thing.. and drink budwar beer while you wait.... Cant complain. The tour was kinda neat - it wasnt anything special.. somewhat similar to the Pilsner ...

We stopped in Roznov pod Radhostem to visit an Oppen Aair Wallachian Wooden Village Musuem. It was neat to see the traditional ways that people in this area lived - with all of the buildings made of wood. We got to see exhibits of welding metal, a saw mill, and working water wheels. This would be a nice stop especially for those with children.

... pristine lakes teeming with birdlife and small villages. Whilst we hadn't made it to the mountains, this was exactly what I as looking for during my short break out of the cities. I was a little disappointed once the sun set, but had a few quiet beers to chill out with my new friends in the small town of Rybnik's rynek, which was just 15km from Belk. The next morning Agnes again joined Karola and I for a trip to the town of Pszczyna, about 30km from Belk. It ...

Me and Ritchie headed to Auschwitz. We spent ages looking for the bus station and met some South Africans who were going to Zakopane for a day trip?!! We found the bus with minutes to spare. It was a good hour and a half away buet we spent most of the time on the bus trying to work out if the guys behind us were German or not. Still to this day have no idea. We got there fairly late in the day as it was shutting at 3pm but headed on in. THere was a film in English starting so ...

... my word. This last week has probably been the most intense so far, with very high points and a couple of very low ones. Start at the beginning: last Friday, one of the days I've felt worse in my life, and probably the one when I've felt the weight of being Colombian most. I don't say with a tone of reproach, but full of pain because it simply isn't fair. I went to pick my Polish visa up, and just opened to check it, and taaa.... I'd only ...

On my 36th day of travel, I visited the dreaded site of Auschwitz. This is the world famous site where Nazis murdered millions of people during WWII. As soon as the bus drive dropped me off, I was totally lost. Its not until I asked several people before I found my way into the main entrance....poor direction. Its a very sad place to visit but again it is very important. By visiting this place, the idea is for this tragedy of human genocide never to happen again. I met up ...
