Tag Yesterday was quite the travel day, we said good bye to all our praha friends and I personally teared up and said I will return. Anyways Ive noticed my grammer and pretty much use of the english language has fallen off the chart I#m just a blur of languages now but back to my story. We left Praha yesterday morning and arrived in Berlin I wanted to stay but chris wanted to go get closer to London so we ended up in Hannover which at first looked like quite the dive but after staying the downtown section instead of little turkey where everyone and their dog has a salon we found a nice hotel and beer hall and downed a couple liters of lowenbrau. Well I got to go train for Amsterdam is leaving in ... read more

Im stuck in a hotel on my last night in Prague...its horrible. Chris took away my spending money cause we went a little overboard last night lol. I met two lepercauns this afternoon and sort of followed them to their Irish bar turns out they are really from Dublin. It was the first time I ever heard a real Irish girls accent it was pretty cool. Oh we also went and saw the John Lennon wall which was prety cool, have I mention the beer is good here. I am so bored. J... read more

First thing I cant believe Heatly didnt waive his no trade clause! Hi We left Vienna Tuesday morning ..i think, I'm finding it hard to keep track of time these days. Anyways, we got onto a night train to Prague from Vienna it was another terrible but interesting sleep in a train car. I woke being spooned by a german girl and to chris's feet in my face. However, it was a good thing we woke up because it seems we slept right through Prauge and were now in Dresden Germany Oops! If we would of slept much longer we would of been in Berlin by 10am. So after explaining the situation to an older woman at the train station and then finding out she doesnt speak english another dude told us to jump on the ... read more

Hallo kids so if anyone ever wants to go to Austria buy an umbrella! No one ever told that this place is a rian forest, I havent seen this much rain since I was in Prince Rupert! It honestly has not stopped and makes doing things quite difficult. And this computer is telling me I got only a minute left so I'll be quick and say we are going to the zoo tomorrow and then off to Prauge Wednesday. Oh I have to remeber to tell you the storzy of the smell on the train.. J... read more

Tag kids We Arrived in Salzburg last night it was quite the change, from the canals of venice to the rolling mountains and the richest green hills with goats munching away. I was just waiting for the von tramp family to come running out singing the the hills are alive with the sound of music. Honestly though, this is the town where the real von tramp family were from there's a tour to prove it lol. I have to say hostels are the biggest ripoff going they gouge you at every point and really dont give you much but a bed to sleep in. We've found cheaper hotels that give you more for less, so if any of you go to Europe do your research you could probably stay somewhere better than a hostel for not ... read more

Hey sorry for the lack of updates but its been long few days. We left Madrid on the 23rd at 1300 and arrived in Venice on the 24th at 1700 needless to say we needed a break from trains so we stayed here longer than we had planned. Venice is pretty sweet especially once you start drinking and the tourists go to bed or back to the airport. We have many pictures of our shenanigans (close enough) Ill update them when we find a cheaper internet place. anyhow we leave for Austria tonight and we should be in Vienna in a couple days. So Iàm going to sign off for now so chris can checkl his e-mail. talk to you later J... read more

Our last night in africa was pretty eventful with chris and haggling the night away. We finally found out a system, work as a team. The trick was to have guy carry the money while the other haggled once a price was sight chris would come get me saying I was the one with the money I would than come and say "no much too expensive" and amazingly the price dropped every single time or more stuff would be thrown into the deal. By the end of the night we walked out with three bags of fruit (including the most amazing figs ever to be had) 4 scarfs, 1 cool scarf that the special forces wear, a couple watches including a sweet rolex knockoff, and some other knick knacks for about 45 euros. The end of ... read more

Ola hombres! We arrived in Madrid about 14:00 MAdrid time 4am Edmonton time. We had to take two trains, the first was a rough ride which included fat people, snoring, upset french women and weird smell coming from the vents. We transfered in Irun, Spain where we waitied for our first class train to take us to Madrid. It was really was pretyy much nuight and day. We had a decent breakfast which included this amazing tomato sauce and olive oil as well plenty of leg room ..well almost. Anyways Madrid is super hot but a dry heat so it´s not too bad. We´re going to hang around the city for about 16 hours before our next train takes us to Algecrias and ferry off to Africa! so whatever bye in spanish is later J... read more
