Hi again from Prague.
Apologies again for the lack of photos but finding a fast enough computer is proving a bit of a challenge - will get them up as soon as I can.
Last day in Prague today and have had a fantastic time. Met a couple of Canadian guys on the the train and thez ended up staying at my hostel so i hung out with them for a couple of days. Prague is really awesome - just so old. The town is divided into what they call the "old town" and the "new Town" But the "old town" was built in the 13th century!!! the first building at Prague castle was built in 882. These days its full of tourists but not too overcrowded at this time of year.
The first daz here we checked out the castle - which took about five hours or so and spent the rest of the daz wandering around town. After dinner we walked over the bridge and encountered a concert in the park - sat there with a bottle of wine for a couple of hours and then went for a beer at a very Czech pub - not a foreigner in sight.
The next day - more wandering - up a gian hill on the castle side of town - a long walk but well worth the effort at the end of it. We also went to the Museum of Medieval Torture instruments and the Museum of Communism which were both great. That night the Canadians were introduced to rugby with their first All Blacks game viewing, and i was introduced to American football - dont think im a convert yet!!
Yesterdaz i hit the countryside town of Kutna Hora about 2 hours away. A real prettz little town - the highlight of which is a church completely decorated with bones!!!
Todaz, after 3 dazs of beautiful weather it rained - so after climbing to the top of St Nicholas church tower i spent the day shopping and getting a hair cut - thez didnt do a bad job despite not speaking Englis!!!
Have had a slight change of plans - flzing to Barcelona tomoorrow and then bussing to Toulouse to meet Kevin for the All Blacks games there - life could be worse!!
Look forward to hearing from zou all
