Prague 26th - 29th July 2010 After checking out of our very cute hostel we headed for Cesky Krumlov's main bus station. We'd booked tickets online, and had to wait about an hour for the bus to turn up. We were travelling on the "Student Agency" bus, which was pretty full. We were given free hot drinks, and had a couple a movie to watch on the trip; Mr Bean's Holiday. Even though it was dubbed into Czech, it was pretty easy to follow along, due to ...

Cesky Krumlov 25th July 2010 We checked out of the hotel and waited out the front for our private shuttle van to come and collect us. Finally, half an hour late, some hippy in a pretty beat up courier van arrived and shoved us in. We were the only passengers!

I am however surprised that we made it alive; the driver was a complete ...

Linz 24th July 2010 We had two options for our train journey to Linz; Pay 60 Euros and have the journey take 1.5 hours, or pay 25 Euros and have it take 3 hours.

We thought it was on the way, but after I realised that I had misread the map we had to backtrack past the station and back down the other way. We checked into our massive apartment, run by a kind of creepy old guy, dropped our bags and set off. We headed down to the massive Schöenbrunn Pa...

Munich 17th -21st July 2010 We had pre-booked train tickets for our 4.5 hour trip from Zurich to Munich. It saved us about 150 Euros by buying them in advance from the German train company than buying them from the Swiss company. While we were waiting for the train to come a young Asian couple and their 3ish year old child as well as the grandparents arrived. The kid was quite content in his pram, but grandma pulled him out, pulled down his pants and then m...
