Romantik Im Weissen Rossl St. Wolfgang

... platter of meat and potatoes, and then apple strudel and cinnamon rolls for dessert. It was delicious and so much fun, even if the meat was a little salty. And there was an adorable Lab-mix there in the restaurant with his owner (again with the dogs inside! I love this) and he was so cute begging from us (the dog, not the owner) it was almost like being home.

After dinner the organizers took us over to the bar at the Travelers Hostel ...

... factory is cancelled. Absolutely crushed. That was something I was really looking forward to, but my german dad said he may see if he can get me in one time, I really hope so!!
And one last thing, the football Gods clearly love collingwood!!!! and we probably will win the premiership next year, yeah I think so, can't see any reason why not, superior ruck, superior midfield, superior coaching staff...... life is great!

Well, it's been a lonnngggg while.....here is a rundown of what I've been doing since London-

Took a weekend trip to visit girlfriends in Dublin. I love Ireland! Had a great time with my friends and their friends.

Flew from London to Berlin, stayed one night then went to Dresden to meet with my Great Grandmother's Niece's Granddaughter (got that?!?!?!). She was so good to me! Stayed with her in Dresden then went to Zwickau to stay with family and see some places where ...

... compared to us.

Back at the station we found our platform and waited for our train. There were two tiny little old carriages on the track at the very end of our platform and I thought to myself 'I hope they are going to move those little carriages before our train comes’.

Well, it got to within five minutes of when our train was supposed to arrive and these little tiny carriages were still sitting there. They looked like fat versions of the old Glenelg trams. I ...

... Krumlov was known for, the Castle. I took a walk up the hill and immedialtey gazed upon three of the sadest looking bears I had ever seen. Enclosed in this little pen pacing back and forth. I was immediatly turned off by this and decided to boy cot the castel's entry free. I took in the Gardens and grounds but stayed clear of the castle walls. I headed back to the hostel and Tamara came up with the idea of having a Bon Fire in the back yard of the hostel. We huddled around ...

... has a lovely charm and is a definite must see. Our camp site was about 3kms away and set next to a little creek. The showers were again awful and you had to pay for them so I only had the one. Needless to say I am hanging out for a nice shower and it will take a lot of convincing to get me out once one shows itself. There was a Kiwi couple in a Talbot van there and a group of Scottish lads, so a lot of people are starting to ...

... fails, and I can't catch a train I have a back-up plan. I hope to go horseback riding tomorrow, and if I get a good fast horse I intend to ride it back to Prague through fields of canola so I can make my hair appointment at 4pm LOL *HUGS to everyone* NOTE! I was able to upload photos from yesterday and a couple from this morning into the blogs. If you use the small white arrows to move back a blog you will see the photos I uploaded to the previous entry. Neil

... to think that after this grueling workout we'd opt for the easy way back once down - the ferry across the lake and a short bike ride back to camp - but why be rested, dry and comfortable when you can be tired, wet and miserable? We ended up pocketing the six euro ferry tariff and cycled around the lake, even though the sky was now a charcoal black and rain continued to fall. As we biked the rain got heavier and heavier and by the time we got back to camp ...

... that you should just probably go there before you die. In Prague, Maddie and I got seriously into the international Hostel-Backpackers scene. We befriened some deliciously raucous Irish boys who were en-route to a Motorhead concert (they had a penchant for 80s metal and Shakira...), we toured around with other Europeans/Americans doing the quintessential post-university tour of Europe, and we plan to meet some of our fellow travellers again in Budapest. Also picked up ...

... a walking tour and generally enjoyed being there as it has to be one of the most incredible cities in Europe. The skyline is filled with the medieval, and you can almost feel that you are back in the days of horse drawn carriages. The streets are mostly cobble stone. It has changed a lot since we were there in the early 90s though. Gone are the wooden sausage and ...
