3/08/04 Day 31.


The first solid nights sleep in a while and a nice wc in, followed by breakfast run in the cruising because strange Canadian had an... cause in the kitchen. We headed up across the river and up to the castle, still very nice streets, cafes and squares exit Some of the (big) all of the "appartments" along the rivers were rather desirable. TheCastle was a bit of a shock as I have never seen so many hordes of backpack wearing Sun-hat wearing camera beaming loud tourists (mainly American) before! I'm not sure whether it was worth the price but I wanted to see what Prague is renowned for. Perhaps if I'd known what it would be like I wouldn't have gone. The view from St Vitrus cathedral was worth it, as was the museum which was very well done. Unfortunately the graves and the billets, the noise in the cathedral and walking in so walk down a street (which was very false and filled with anyone shops) may have contributed to the feeling of a wasted day. Went over Charles Bridge which, again, you couldn't really admire because if you stopped and get trampled or in the stampede. Still, we made with significant - help over me - but I must say I do help cathedral (I love you!)


It was a half alive (just) and eventually looked our easly kennite accomodates. I cooked my best meal yet. I'm not quite sure what to all it but I shall think of something -


We found a more lucky bar, there we were forced to drink the lored (not very nice) lager which my stomach didn't appreciate and I fell asleep in my clothes with my contacts still in


The text said about today the better, me thinks. Not one of the better days. I was worn in I misusten at all

  22/09/04 Day 81 I am itching to speak generally and emotionally of this fascinating city and the people we've met - but just I must deal with chronological facts. I think Heather has gone a bit crazy, as her entries were rather terse, and she's now prancing around the room like a Victorian show-girl! We got up a little earlier than intended due to the appearance of two Columbians in our bedroom. (Yes - I had the most painful mozzy bite night so far, worse, somehow, than Vienna - I think my body has just given up - oh how I long for England). This turned out to be beneficial. A breakfast was a laughing affair, and we were graced by Chris - "I'm so arrogant I won't even accept that other people have views, let alone that they are different from mine, let alone that they might just be right" - the hippy. He proceeded to preach about how to behave in foreign countries, and was chagrinedly (?) rude to Heather, who's Italian could not be more better than his. ...

  23/09/04 Day 82 (there's no point just to San Marco taking lifts) We were going to get up early first everyone in the whole world decided they wanted to have a shower at the same time as us and we ended up leaving late and getting to San Marco to find a 10 min (only a guess) wait for the basilica and the same for the tower (we'll come back later we thought. And so I wentoff on my own for my long-awaited souvenir shopping trip during which time I bought the coolest gondola-shaped pasta and got very excited about murano glass bonded which I had decided I needed but the nice ones were expensive and the cheap ones were tacky. So I gave up on all that and went to an "art gallery" instead. It was an oriental and modern art gallery like first sector consisting of funny specs and Chinese vases - not my cup of china tea. The modern art was a lot better - several paintings of Marco and other energy places well soon. I was slightly disappointed to only find two pieces of likes...

  10/09/04 Day 69 We just watched a couple of girls set off from the PP beach in a beach canoe. It was most yoney and the appsionately chosen short skirt did not stay day! The episode ended with them both on board, the front of paddling forward the back, backwards. (back in the correct way!!)- we nearly misred breakfast having become so accustomed to the life of a beach bum. And this morning we dined with the local dewey which is, Im sure, fed up of the PP. It looked longingly at me - for coffee - I'm sure we were on the same wavelenght to suck our beach stuff down with us and set up camp on the beach for the day. I sunbathed and listened to music for about 4 hours (looking sughtly like a red tomato, or to maytto, as the Americans would say...) Then we went for a bit of wave surfingwhich was most fun (I was smoking with laughter!!) Apart from that we bought an alarm clock (after the 2 broken watches!!) used the incredibly slow internet and then yet again, another dinner consisting ...
