Day 12: PLEASE NOTE THIS ENTRY HAS BEEN UPDATED - SEE END. The first thing that happened to us today was being woken up at around 3am by the border control peoples.... we unlocked the door and sleepily searched for our little bag containing our passports. Problem. Bag wasn't anywhere to be found....we were properly worried when an official turned up and said "are these your passports?" cue lots of relief (and confusion) but still concerned about the...

Day 11: We got the train in the morning and arrived in Prague around 11:30. We found somewhere to store our bags, and having double checked the time of our night train to Warsaw we headed off around the city to explore. The weather was unbearably hot, far from ideal to explore a city on foot in a limited time but we got on with it like the hardened travellers we were becoming hehe.... We saw the beautiful Astronomical Clock (as seen in one of the pics on t...

Day 10: Having hidden from the mozzies it was a relief when the train finally turned up and we could take shelter!!!

Day 9: We set off from Munich at 9:30 - the train was already delayed and we arrived in Vienna late. This was unacceptable after all the prompt swiss trains!! The station we arrived at seemed to be in the middle of nowhere and we were starving. After lots of faffing around we eventually found a pizza restaurant that was just about to close (it was near 3 O'clock at this point!), but luckily they fed us anyway. Again, we still didn't know where to go nex...

Day 8: We overslept just a leeetle bit this morning and consequently had to pack, get ready and pack away the tent in about half an hour. Just about managed it but not gonna let it happen again!!! We said goodbye to Chur and boarded a train to Zurich... We had originally planned a stopover in Salzburg but the trains were rubbish and at the wrong time so we went for lunch in Zurich instead.... Our stop in Zurich didn't go as planned... We didn't have time...
