We're staying on the most gorgeous Greek island, Aegina Island is about 40 minutes on the vomit inducing Flying Dolphin scary thing from Athens. Our hotel isn't so great, but i got a reduced rate cos he messed up our booking so i can't complain! We've got views out over the sea and it's loooooovely! We seem to be some of the few English tourists on the islands, so we get shouted at a lot by the locals (in a friendly way!!) Yesterday we just spent the day doing no...

Another beautiful country. Think i may have to go back and visit Bulgaria one day. Though maybe not on the traumatising train.

Day Two in Prague, we got kicked out of the hostel at 9am so it's been an early start today! We've been doing cultural stuff today and have been to Prague Castle, it's well worth a visit. We went around the Vitus Cathedral and to the top of the tower there (287 spiral steps!). We also went around the Prison Tower, the Old Palace and Golden Lane, all of which were very pretty. We visited a crazy exhibition about the history of the Castle, the highlight was the par...
