Went through Serengeti again. Saw 3 cheetahs and 1 leopard and lions!!! How exciting! Went to the Ngorongoro crater place. Saw many many wildebeest and zebras. Managed to see lions and hyenas and buffalos and elephants...OH and 1 RHINO!!! (far, but still identifiable) So, I managed to see the big 5 today. How cool is that! The hotelish-resort today is the best so far. It's a proper room, as opposed to the tent. My guide insists on bringing me to see some craft stuff and tanzanite tomorrow. I'm not interested in these types of stuff at all. Oh well, I supposed I should humour him, see as he keeps telling me how he always tries to do his best for me. Animals 10.

Part 1 I'm in a really cool tent. Like really really cool. It's a hotel room, but in a tent! There's loads of mosquitoes here so I have to be careful. Also, I didn't realise that I would be on a safari trip myself. I thought that I would be meeting up with other people. No wonder it was so expensive. My driver/guide is called Molel ( I don't actually know how to spell his name). He's quite nice. Anyway, the village that I'm staying in is called Mto wa Mbu - River of Mosquitoes. On my way to the Migunga Camp, I saw loads of cattles, goats and donkeys and little children were herding them. Those kids have to grow up so fast. The scenery here is definitely very different from home. As I'm writing ... read more

We wanted to visit the Prague Market and the famous beer garden before we left in the evening, but of course, it was drizzling the whole time. As it was mostly an outdoor market, we walked around in the rain, looking at knock-offs, cheap trinkets and food. Deciding we had enough, we made our way to the beer garden, which of course, was closed. So we sat in the nearest cafe (seriously, don't judge) and talked about...guess what? - food. Slowly, we made our way back to the hostel to use their internet before making our way to Prague Airport. Edinburgh here we come!!!... read more

Took a shuttle bus (more like a van) to Česky Krumlov. Had an embarrassing moment at the petrol station when I got stuck in the toilet (somehow I'm not surprised, it's such a typical thing for me to do). The whole town is UNESCO protected and when we arrived, I realised why. It's such a small town, but it's beauty makes up for the lack of things to do. There was the Marian Plague Column in the town square, with the Church of St. Vitus just slightly off the square. We walked up to the castle but decided to leave that for tomorrow. We then made our way to Hotel Ruže where there was a very nice view of the town. We explored the main part of the town within two hours and sat in a ... read more

We parted with our friend and took a bus to Vienna. We checked into a traveller friendly hostel called the Wombats and decided to spend what's left of the day at the Shönbrunn palace. There was a small Easter market in the palace, selling many cute trinkets and delicious sausages. Photography wasn't allowed in the palace (WHY!!?!?) so I couldn't take any pictures (BOOHOO). We wanted to go to the gardens behind the palace after the palace tour, but it started to rain. So we hung about at the market and in the entrance of the palace, hoping that the rain would stop. We finally decided to venture into the garden just to see what it's like but decided to leave quickly as we were cold and wet. Of course, as we were walking back to ... read more
