3rd biggest synagogue in the world,
After spendin 600 euros is 7 days it was time to get out of Munich before i ran out of money and have to go home 5 months early. I managed to get up early and catch the early train to Plzen my first stop in Czech Rebublic. After a borin uneventful train ride i got to Plzen, comin into Plzen the place looked like quite the dump, but once in the main part of the town it wasnt so bad. My first 3 hours in Plzen were spent walkin around lookin for a hostel even after goin to the information office i still couldnt find the dump, so i decided to cut my loses a stay at a crappy hotel in the center of town, the hotel was a waiste of money 23 euro for a shared bathrooms, a crappy room with small bed and a sink that spat out orange water even after the tap was left runnin for a while. The rest of the day there was spent walkin around the city ,seeing the3rd biggest synogue in the world the "Great Synagogue" and the Church of St Bartholomew, unfortunatley the reason I was there, to see the Pilsner
Church of St BartholomewChurch of St BartholomewChurch of St Bartholomew

its ok i just started my trip...
brewery where Pilsner Lager was invented in 1842. my luck it was closed. and i wasnt stayin an extra night in that hotel so i never got to see it ..oh well .. to kill the rest of the day i walked around lookin for some food found a trusty Czech Burger fast food joint and stuffed my face after not eatin all day. Once i finished my burger i was bored and had enouph of walkin so i went back to the hotel unpacked then repacked my bag then went to bed...
got up early the next day to catch the train to Prague.. and on the way there i was approached by a frenchmen who wanted money because the mafia were after him and he a coldsaw on his lip to prove it...told him i dont have money and sent him on his way.. and i wass on my way and caught the train to Prague..
If i was to go to Pilsen again id go with someone else to cuts costs seein as the hostel was impossible to find.. and not many people there spoke english.. but it was a nice enouph place for a quick visit..

next Prague
