prague

wow, it has been a while!

prague was lovely. cold. 2 degrees at peak, but still nice. the bus even had a tv on it.. granted all the english speaking films were dubbed.. had a movie night with some of artu's friends the first night.. slept a lot.. next day.. bummed around saw james bond again.. oh and got fined. yes! my first european fine and bribe! exciting yes i know. my first and sadly not my last. it was easy peasy anyway.. they don't like taking you to the police staion because it is lots of work.. so i think artur bribed him with 200 crowns.. so like 8 euros.. sweet eh.

next day we went to these aweosme tea rooms, were you dirnk tea or coffee, smoke shisha.. they're dark and the very middle eastern looking. quite groovey. and then this awesome club.. it's just insane. it's hard to describe. it's very underground.. and literally underground.. like h.r giger desgined it on a bad acid trip.. whacked out sculptures.. lights that spin and look like spiders. so crazy. saw a really famous drum and bass gig there. good stuff...

after sleeping for 4 hours.. i wondered around the city and it is lovely.. didn't actually see any of these famous czech gypsies..

went to the castle and palaces and all around the next day i like it over there better.. when you look over the edge and the city is sprawled below.. tiled roofs, and castle tops. it's pretty amazing.

went to see this church... it kutna hora. a little place an hour out of prague. it has over 400 000 sets o fbones that decorate the church.. 4 stacks of bones. it could have been grimmer.. it was still very much the whole point was to try to puch god upon you.. but i met a nice aussie girl and we walked around and ate fried cheese.

alas and then to venice.. more to come.. give me time !

Hey Rosie!
Glad you're enjoying yourself! You'll be happy to get home and warm yourself up!

I am on my way home. In LA waiting for my third of four flights! Hard to believe I'm done and heading home. Had a nice farewell at work.

When you land home? I think you have a couple weeks left if I'm right?
Take care.
