Damn the man and his stupid computers

Okay, so as I mentioned before I was in Prague while writing about Berlin. Now I'm in Venice, well on the mainland next to Venice, telling you about going from Berlin to Prague... Capish? Allow me to explain to you just how difficult it is to get these bloody posts done. There is either no internet available for me to use or it's prohibitively expensive. So now I sort of scrounge around trying to get anything remotely like decent prices so that I can keep you entertained... explain to me why this is a good idea again? Anyway, on with the show.

So we had a fairly early start as we went from Berlin to Prague and I'd tell you whether the trip was long or short except for the fact that it's now been a few packed days and I can't rightly remember. Anyway we made it to Prague and now that was an eye opener. They had said we should expect our accomodation to decrease as we were on the bidget tour... but damn. The place could have been decent I suppose... if they bothered to clean the room before we arrived. As it was there was no pillow cases, some old towel in the bathroom and stains on the toilet seat... good first impression that.

Well after we were greeted by our insane, we were instructed that she was eccentric (but if she's working in that place she can't be rich so then she's insane not eccentric right?), hostel representative. She did inform us that the hostel had a sauna as well as a pool in the basement. Weird yes but as we have been tood numerous times, it's not wrong it's just different. mmmkay. Anyway, ooooo I forgot something, lets backtrack. Before we got to the hostel we actually had a bit of a tour around Prague itself.

We went and had a look at Prague castle. I'd tell you the actual name but I'm too lazy to go and check on waht it is and if you're interested you can go and damn well check it yourself. It's got a weird spelling. Anyways it wasn't an actual castle that we saw but the castle district. So there was a cathedral thingy in there as well as a bunch of other places. It was pretty cool I suppose but the best thing in my opinion was the views from the place. Like anyone knows, you build castles on top of hills/mountains. It gives you the ebst defensible position. So the castle district is at the top of a hill and you get some pretty decent views down over Prague itself. And I just remembered something else.

Before hitting Prague we stopped off in this cool little town called Dresden... no I'm not kidding there is a town in Germany called Dresden. It rocks. A lot of the buildings there have these black bricks etc scattered all over them. What happened was that during WW2, most of the place got flattened but, being the sensible people they are, the Germans had labled every brick that went into each of the buildings. This way, when they rebuilt the place, they were able to put some of the original, unbroken, bricks back into place. Cool hey? Anyway, back to Prague...

Well we didn't do much in Prague that day other than the mini tour of the castle district. After that it was basically back to the hostel where we decided to hit the pool followed by the pub. Okay so the pool was decent I suppose, but the thing that made this hostel better than its first impression? The pub. This was clearly where the hostel was focussing it's money and I suppose it makes sense. Most people at the place are in the pub more than their rooms. Go figure. I, however, had the misfortune of deciding to try a Prague Iced Tea. It's basically a long island iced tea where you replace the rum with malibu. Yeargh. It was vile, although some of the Australians liked it. Go figure. Anyway, that was about it before crashing for the night.
