Czech Yourself
1/2/2006 - 1/5/2006
Lynda and I got a train from Berlin to Prague on the 2nd, I had originally planned to head to Holland, Belgium, and then the UK. But, Lynda was going to Prague and invited me along. She's cool, a friend of a friend of Tim's. A tv producer in Sydney, for a motorsport show, 27, a good travel companion for the week. All in the swiss house had been to Prague, and loved it. so I'm in Prague. She had prebooked a hostel in the "old town" near the Tynsky church. Turned out to be in the absolute heart of the city, perfect spot. We've walked all over the place, having cheap, great meals and beers (Pivo!) Saw the castle, charles bridge over the famous vtavla river and the usual tourist sights. Went 60Kms on the train today out to Kutna Hora, home of the famous "bone church." The bones of 40,000 people are on display as wall ornaments, chandoliers, etc. very sick but oddly cool. Heading to London tomorrow, easyJet, then its a few days of pounding the Pound Sterling (horrible exchange rate for us Yanks) 1.00 United States Dollars = 0.569186 GBP, das ist nicht gut. Mr. Matthew and I are off on the 10th to Nairobi and the Afrika Adventa begins. We meet up with ANDREW on the 17th and attempt to climb/hike/walk and vomit from altitude our way up Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.
More photos to come in the next few days...

Ahh Praha! I loved that place. Such a cool city and the cheap eats and beers are just an added bonus. :) Cannot wait to see pictures of Africa. Then I'm REALLY going to be jealous.
