Yeah, the map and location might say Turkey but I have to finish up the night in Prague.

After grabbing dinner w/ my Aussie friends we met at the Pub Crawl meeting place in Old Square. There were a big group and we were 20 people strong on this crawl, alot were from Australia, Canada, & Britain and me being the solo American... I got picked on but all in good nature but what was awesome was the whole group got along and everyone mingled and didn't form any "clicks". So we headed bar to bar and everyone got even keeled drunk. One of the bars was like a Coyote Ugly type deal w/ beautiful bartenders and waitresses and they get on the bar and dance. Awesome... Oh, now where was I? Sorry, had a flashback... Brilliant! Ok, then next was a cool little bar that they give you sharpie pens and you can write on the walls, tables, anything in the place you want. As you can imagine those sharpies were then turned on eachother and a pen fight ensued. 😊 Needless to say everyone wore marks when we went to our next bar. From there we went to another bar and ended at a club, I got lot's of pictures, it was by far the best crawl I have been on.

The next morning I got up early to get a bratwurst sandwhich and a beer for breakfast and then left to the airport. I think I drank more beer then water in Prague as it was normally cheaper. Landed in Turkey and as my mom said it's just huge lines to buy a visa and get through passport control. After getting through the foreign armpit line I got on my way to my 5 star hotel... Not! It is 1 1/2 star but hehe, it's more like just a 1/2 star. Much like in India the place is crazy small, no mirror in the place, not like I'm Vanity Smurf but sometimes you wanna make sure you don't got a booger hanging before going out. The shower is the bathroom and thank god unlike India the close did not smell like mothballs in which I nearly passed out because it was strong. I was very scared to open it, so I cracked it very little and took a small whiff, and when it smelled ok, I breathed a sigh of relief...

It's the morning now and had a great omelette at this small cafe nearby. I was going to say the day but honestly I always forget what day it is. :0 That's a thing me and Scotty kept asking eachother in Prague was is it Monday? Tuesday? That's what you gotta love about vacation!

Well, off to a full day tour which will hit up Constaninople, which means I will be visiting 2 continents today as Turkey is the only country to boast that claim!

Well, off I go

Masalaam (goodbye)
