Czech Me Out
It was a short 3hr drive to the Czech Republic boarder where we got checked & stamped. We where soon on our way again as soon as the Czech police were done with their perv session of the girls on the bus.
The drive into prague was just amazing. It really does look picture perfect, i just could not get over the look & feel of Prague. From the moment you see the charles bridge & the palace on the hill your blown away by its beauty.
Once we settled into our old communist style hotel that was directly behind a very very very busy rail yard, had no air con on a 37 degree day, the smallest shower known to man but best of all it had a bowling alley in the basement. That night we hit Prague to see it in all its beauty.
Dean (tour manager) showed us around Prague & told us a heap about the history of the place. But once we hit the charles bridge my jaw dropped. None of my words or pics just wont do it justice, this is one place you have to see for yourself to experience its magic.
After the walk & a big one the night before in Berlin most of us wanted an easy night in & with those bowling alley's just calling our name it wasn't long till we had beers in hand and pins flying.
The aussies took over the naming of players on the scoreboard & aussiefied them to the total busement of the yanks & canidians. The bowling styles varied from the bazar to the insane. In my game, the last round was myself & john (our bus driver, from nz) with me needing a spare or better to deliver the glory for Australia after the constant bragging of the drubbing the aussies were given by nz in the recent tri-nation rugby match.
The sledging, mental intimidation & performance degrading drug use was rife but in the end my completely tin ass strike won me the gold & glory... so much for an easy night.
Got up only to find that the hot water had run out so it was a quick shower that really woke me up. Then it was on to prague for a close up look at the plaace & lunch on a boat cruse, which after 3hrs of walking in 38 degree heat was a very welcome change.
The view from the palace of prague was just as good as the view of the palace from the city. Terracotta roofs as far as the eye could see. It really is amazing the way this place looks, just so picture perfect.
After the relaxing boat cruse & a few beers we set forth to conquer Prague. We walked round Prague for a while shopping, eating & chilling in front of the jazz festival stage (great timing
. It was a long hot day & since we were hitting the town later that night we headed into the hotel for a nanna nap and changed.
We grabbed some dinner in the hotel bar (which was just microwave pizza's) and while waiting for everyone stated playing some drining games. Needless to say we were all pretty merry by the time the cabs arrived.
The cab ride into Prague was something out of a movie. We had a convoy of 6 black merc's full of us flying into the city (the drivers only know flat out or stopped). All that was needed were black suits and some guns.
Our black convoy ended at the largest nightclub in eastern europe, 5 floors of czech republic beauties. In this place anything goes, getting hot on the dance floor? Just strip down to your g-string, or balls and all if you feel like it. Beer not enough kick for you? Grab some absinthe (hallucinogenic drink), its the worst tasting stuff ever. It was a crazy but awesomely fun night.
It was an early start next morning as we headed for munich & the home of beer. Still no hangovers.... i love this beer!!!!
