Czech me out!!!

I am now in the beautiful (but overly crowded) city of Prague! Have actually written a number of posts in the past few weeks but never got to post them. Next time I promise...with photos as well!

So Prague wasn't as what I had imagine it'd be like. It's amazing seeing the archictures and what the country was like being taken over by the communists decades ago. I'm a bit disappointed that I'm constantly squashed/surrounded by tourists everywhere I am...but other than that, this place is definitely worth visiting!! THe beer here are so much cheaper than water. About 1 Euro for a large glass....they are also apparently the best beer in the world (altho Germany claim that also). I had my first shot tonight. They told me it was some herbal alcohol, and that most old people here have a shot every morning as it is good for the heart and blood. I seriously thought I was going to pass out afterwards so that is why I am now back in the hotel trying to recover.

Tmr, I am heading for Vienna...the home of good ole Mossie!!! I am excitied about visitng the place where he played for this Queen when he was five...

Will try and update whenever I can.

Btw, had the most amazing time in Berlin...it was the most memorable trip and I was so touched by this incident that I will post about later!!! Ok, sleeping time for granny!!

still alive

I really should drop by and say greetings from Copenhagen and update on all the travel tales for the past few weeks. I had hardly any internet access until now (the rate on the cruise was US$0.50/min!)
However I'm not in the best mood. Today while swishing my coffee around in my cup...it suddenly hit me that I am going to be alone verrry soon traveling by myself. Next destination is Berlin. The hostel people there gave me the following instructions to get to the hostel:

arriving at spichernstrasse
take exit "hohenzollerndamm" and follow down pariser after about 150m you will find us on the left side at 58
hope this helps.

No, that doesn't help.

I'm off for now. Taking a train to Sweden (Malmo) tomorrow.

I miss my bed...

My tentative routes...

The pink lines represents the routes of Contiki tour while the red lines represents the path that I will take by myself.

home sweet home...

I am back...however have been in bed with the fever since Monday! I knew that was coming, as so many people on the tour were coughing their eyes out during the last few days... Went to the doctors today and waited for 1.5 hrs, coz apparently so many people have the same flu!

So...I've much to update...but not now as I feel like I am hallucinating and my brain is being fried. This morning I fell from the top of the stairs to the bottom coz my legs felt weak...LOL. When I'm old, I'm definitely not going to live in a 2-storey house.

Spent all week watching Anne of Green Gables (it made me cry so many times...don't know why I get extra emotional whenever I'm sick) and reading The Heavenly Man (have truly been challenged!)

Anyways, Europe planning has once again been delayed. I'm leaving in a week too! Not good at all!
