Hotel Nautilus Tabor

... still planning to spend a little time in the touristy area on our way out of town. It's funny because I was pretty sure we'd run into them and sure enough we did. Really given the amount of tourists and the amount of touristy area it's rediculous that we just happend to bike by their table. So they bought us ice cream. Then we had to get going. We thought we were going to get a little further tonight but in the end glad we didn't. We met this ...

... this I decided I deserved a normal bed to sleep in that night! Cheap hotel of course, so I walk into this shabby looking building... Humm, looking very basic, well, will ask reception what the prices are, **** the door to upstairs (where reception is) is locked, bell wire broke, no way to get in contact. No problem will find another hotel....but the outside door is locked as well, so I find myself trapped in the hallway! ****! What to do? Cannot do ...

... over, and I could kick back and sleep for the six hour train ride. Nope. About three hours into our train ride I was in a deep slumber when the train came to a screeching halt which jarred me from my sleep. From my groggy eyes I could see we were in some village and a lot of people were filing off the train, I just assumed this was their stop and I went back to sleep. I was again woken from my nap by a rampaging Czech woman who was ...

Písek, city of the sand...we found it in our way to Mira's place, and we took the two pics you can see from the oldest Czech Bridge, which was almost completely covered by the floodings in 2002. It is really beautiful, and it is one of our best pictures (Bea took it) to date, what in the other hand it's not so difficult...

... the caves. We arrive in Brno at 15.00pm where Tash, Julia and i get out the others are taking the bus back to Prague - Tash and i have to hang around till 9pm for our train to Ostravna where we then have to sit for another 2.5hrs for our train to Warsaw - this time round we booked couchettes - this is six beds in a small room basically like bunk beds but with two above Tash and i have the top of course, watching tash climb onto the top top bunk was ...

... During the bike ride yesderday we were up 1000 meters above sea level and as far as the eye could see over the rolling hills was this sea of colours. Chesky Krumlov, I'm not sure how to describe it. You wouldn't need to ad props to shoot a peroid film here. There's no need to mask any modern steet signs as there arn't any. What was the movie where the character went inside the painting. Gullivers travels? It's just like that. The walls are are artwork ...

... down and were on a good run...long may it continue...SMALL TOWN IN EUROPE!...GET IN!...Playing wise i still play for FC Dynamo Zizkov and we won our last game 2-1, i played 70 mins but unfortunately im still looking for my first goal! We play tomorrow but im injured so hopefully il be ready for next week and get off the mark! The weather is slowly changing and the mornings are freezin! So thats about it, nothing really new, heres to a good october!

... guide book, and was on the way. After the first half hour, the going was thoroughly enjoyable, rolling hills of the good kind- shaped like gathering waves near the shore, with long, shallow down-hill stretches that give you time to gather momentum and rest before the short, steep uphills. I arrived in Jihlava around 2pm and went in search of the tourist information office. They were full of information, but not what I was looking for. A national holiday the day ...

... to the staff room for drinks. After slow dancing with about 47 kids we were all knackered and quite rightly went to the staff room for a few deserved drinks. Most nights it was me, Jamie, Klara, Bara, Dr Bob and Mike who stayed up drinking. It was great, mike played his guitar and talking to Bara, Klara and Bob really helped our Czech and they were so much fun to hang out with. On the 3rd night we had a camp fire....which was actually inside due to the rain (the rain ...

... waned before hers. We cooked meals in the kitchen or had them served at the tavern. On warm days we drank beer from the tavern on the hostel's porch, overlooking the Vltava below. We chatted with the expats. We began to feel like old friends, and even roomates of Ashley and Fiona. We would ask them if they need anything when we went out. We ate most meals together and spent most of our time in their prescence. At the end of the week we walked out of the hostel and left behind yet ...
