Praha České 19 – 22 mai.2007

Mode of Transport: Train.Status upon Arrival: Sleeeeepy

I pulled another all nighter. Our train was out at 6.45am so I didn’t bother sleeping. I’ve found out over the last few trips, that it would be easier not to go to sleep, than it was to sleep. Waking up in the early hours of the morning is such a bitch, especially if you have a long journey ahead. A 6-7 hour train ride plus the on-arrival search for accomodation. My body says that this situation is better handled sans sleep. Yes I’m strangely backwards.

After being kicked out of the first class cabin we ran into two young ladies from Costa Rica. Paula and Andrea of course, pronounced in spanish, sounds totally different. So something like ‘Paowla’ and ‘AndréAh’, were trilingually talented in English, German and their mother tounge of Spanish alternating among the three with ease. In general multi-lingual talented women are smoking. They were sweet girls, I tried to dabble in spanish and failed miserably, we managed to pull off some naughty shots of Stephon, and at the end of the sleepy journey we parted ways. Later on that night we coincidently stumbled upon each other once again. We never did get a chance to say goodbye. Adieu Paula and Andrea wherever you are!

Praha is magnificiently beautiful all over. How this beauty managed to stay intact during the war is unfathomable. From Old Town Square, The Chain Bridge and the CastleHill Side, the architecture unique, the people friendly, the prices cheap and I mean CHEAP compared to Western Europe. We were dropping G’s! The beauty definitely rivals that of Paris. Had some great opportunities to drop some Czech with the local shop owners. Might I say thank you to the Russians who kept this jewel from being demolished. Thank you, you communists.

My Praha highlights

1) Chilling on top The Chain Bridge Tower overseeing the city and soaking it in 2) City View from the Castle side Hilltop 3) Wandering and catching an eyeful!
