Prague

In Prague today for another day off. The city is so beautiful. Last night we had no set accomadation so when we arrived into town the first thing we did was set off to find a place to sleep for the night. We ended up finding a nunnery. There were some very strict rules to follow but there was a bathroom, a kitchen and a roof over our heads so we couldnt really complain. We needed to all be inside by 9 pm which was kind of sad since we all wanted to go out and explore the night life of prague. the other thing was that we had to be super quiet and had to be out by 8am. Oh well an early start to the day means more time to explore the city and so far I am liking what I am seeing.

I love how all these towns are so old and the buildings are so beautiful with so much history. i alwazs forget how young canada is relative to europe.

this trip has made me realize how addicted to coffee i really am. its a sad but true fact. Well actully caffiene and sugar. I have consumed so much coffee, baked goods and Fanta.

when leaving germany and entering the czech republic we did it along a bike path, but once we got onto the roads you could really notice the difference. Thhere are less bike paths, or they are poorly marked. The roads are in poorer conditions. The people seem shyer possibly less friendlier and less people speak English which makes asking for directions when i get lost a lot harder.

The weather has finally heated up. It feels like its in the 30s but I actually have no idea how hot it is. All i can say is that when i am just standing in the sun, i am sweating and sweating profusely. we have followed the Elbe river the last couple of days and there have been many times where i feel like pulling over and jumping in the river to cool off. the only thing holding me back other than the fact that i am a poor swimmer is that the water looks disgustingly dirty.
