Well after a long journey - i have finally arrived back home!
We visited Krakow in Poland and Prague in the Czech Republic. Flew from stanstead to Krakow with Ryan Air and that was around 2 hours flight time and was a little bumpy with lots of ac around the place! We caught a night train (yes very old - like the ones in the 007 movies with the seperate compartments and fold out beds
(and yes we closed someone into the wall in their sleep
)) Went passed Auschwitz - which wasnt very pleasant (was only supposed to stop their for 5 mins and not 30
- we got worried
) and then arrived in Prague around 8 hours later!
We also tried a spirit called "Absinth" illegal in the UK and most places - consisted of a green mixture that looked like mouthwash - was 70% vol and had some kind of "soft drug" in it - gives you veeerrry messed up dreams. After that i stayed to "Sex on the beach" cocktails and beer
Drank lots of beer for around 45p per - 0.5 of a litre and it was good Czech beer too - just goto make sure you dont go to the tourist trap areas
