Praha

well, trip started out without a hitch... our plane didn't have a check in desk until 1/2hr before take-off when check-in is supposed to close. then on the way through the security check, they decided to randomly frisk me and then randomly search my bag for bombs... random?? I think not. although, a good thing out of it is my camera now has a name, 'Gillian'. the security guy had the honour of naming her.

so, well, we arrived in Prague on Monday and made our way to the lovely Hostel. it is quite small, but very clean and friendly! and since then we have just wandered the streets. the weather has been fantastic and the scenery and architecture is nice enough. today we had a picnic lunch in a park on an island which was serene. listening to the noise of prague all around us. this afternoon we were going to do a tour, but decided to sleep and read and relax (because that's all we have been doing recently) and save our money for places like romania where we might get to see dracula... or something like that.

tomorrow morning we are off to Cesky Kromlov until Saturday when we come briefly back to Prague and then onto Krakow. looking forward to it. Benny C told us that Cesky Kromlov is really beautiful, a good place to read a book by the river. AND our hostel has free inner tubes, so we might find ourselves floating down the river, can't wait! it is so nice to not have to think about work... ahhhh. don't know if this attitude will chang soon... ha, we'll see how my updates go as i travel for longer.

well, might have an arvo nap. the weather is soooo lovely, but a bit muggy, so making me tired.

love youse all
