Our night train situation was not ideal. Besides from almost being roasted alive in the carriage, the noise every time the train stopped we were woken up :( On the upside, we arrived in Krakow at 6.30am with two full days to explore. We'd pre-booked an organised tour to Auschwitz and The Salt Mine, and after a few hiccups with pick up place and time, we made it there. Auschwitz is unbelievable in the true sense of the word, we could not believe what went on the...

We arrived in Prague in the middle of a heat wave, not ideal for Scottish skin. And not ideal for walking round cities! On day one, we hired a pedalo and spent an hour sipping Czech beer and pedalling down the Vltava. Good fun and we got a breeze and a wee chat with some fellow pedalo-ers. We were gutted, however, that we did not get the pedalo shaped like a swan. Night time was dinner and drinks right on the river side in a floating restaurant. Next morning...

There was such a good atmosphere in Alexanderplatz when we arrived in Berlin. The pubs were busy, the main square had buskers and street artists, and everyone seemed quite laid back and friendly. Since we arrived later in the day, we decided just to change and head straight for a night out. After dinner we had drinks in Alexanderplatz and later found a rooftop bar with techno music and overpriced drinks that was very cool and good fun. We finished the night with ...

Home for our stay in Amsterdam was a pretty floating hostel boat moored in Oosterdok, with the most laid back ship's captain ever to exist, Brad the Lad! The cabins were "cosy." In other words, no room to swing a cat, but the novelty factor was enough that we didn't really care. Plus, we were in the cabins literally just to sleep. After arriving in the city, we headed straight for the centre and one of the two main squares for Amsterdam nightlife. It was freezi...

Well, Bruges is beautiful! Every street is like a scene from a postcard. As soon as we arrived (after the nightmare journey), we found a pub in the main square and passed the whole afternoon drinking beer and eating waffles. Little did we know, that Lucy's *speaking English to foreign people voice* sounds very very similar to Flemish. Our running joke was that Lucy was fluent and should do all the translating for us.(Perhaps luckily) Belgians seem to speak better...
