Prague

Cool little streets and stairs wind their way through Prague.

Apparently the first lager beer came from the Czech Republic, they sure know how to make a fine brew.
I currently think my insides are that pickled that I won't need to be imbalmed if I die tomorrow. In fact I feel like death now.

After arriving in Prague at 1 am Saturday morning we had one clear mission, get Finno smashed for his birthday.
We met Krystal at our hostel in the morning and at some stage while sitting on the top bunk it broke and I fell through to the bottom. Hilarious.

By 11ish the first beers started to flow followed by some sight seeing around the town. We checked out an astronomical clock, it was pretty cool. A little skeleton rang the bell while some bible guys went past up the top. We also checked out the castle and some cool little streets. We made our way back to Fat Boy's Pub (it was an Aussie pub but didn't have any Aussie crap plastering the walls so it was very cool) and watched some Rugby and even a bit of the Hawthorn game on replay, oh yeah.

After awhile we went for dinner and I

tried a local dish of fried pork and the best mash potato I have ever had. By now shots had started and Finno was enjoy his birthday. We proceeded back to Fat Boy's and it was on. We tried Absinth, the worst drink ever and by 1ish Finno couldn't stand and I mean it, he was gone. We decided to go at this stage but found it very difficult as Finno now couldn't walk. We struggled with drag him, carrying him and all that. At one satge he was on the footpath so Ev and I tried to help him up, we failed, he fell and split his head open on the cobblestones. We finally arrived at the hostel, cleaned up the wound and put vaseline on it boxing style to stop the bleeding. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FINNO!

The next day we headed to a place called Kutna Hora, 2 hours on the train and it is only 84kms from Prague!
We went to a church called Kostnice, it has skulls and bones decorating the walls inside. A giant chanderleer made of bones and shulls and a coat of arms. It was amazing. After spending all of 30 minutes there

we caught the train back to Prague.

We are now in Cesky Kumlov and I am nursing a huge hang over from lasts nights efforts, too many cocktails and shots!. I have never been so sick before in my life. Cesky is a cool little town surrounded by a river and has an awesome castle on the hill. We are near the Austrian border and were meant to go to Austria today, there was no hope. We missed check out and were woken by the receptionist. After a quick shower it was decided we wern't going anywhere and I was back in bed for the rest of the day.

Did I mention how good the beer is in Czech?
