So much to write since last time, so little internet time to do it in.
Currently sitting in the infamous Baxpax, we're staying in what appears to be a dungeon, and I (Steph) now own a two string mini guitar which was bought for 7 quid in good ol' Prague. Get in bargin.
Anyway, Munich day 2 was planned to be a wonderfully historical NSDAP related day, considering we were at it's so-called 'birthplace'. We started by going to Dachau concentration camp in the morning, spending a fair few hours in the exhibition and the memorial sights.
However, despite the earlier bright weather, while we attempted to eat our bread-based lunch we were suddenly hit by a torrential downpour, which not only got us soaked but meant we were sitting on a stationary (not made of paperclips, Rosie) train for over an hour. Fun times.
After being rescued by Richard, we went back to dry off and then were taken on a whistle stop walking tour of central Berlin, seeing sights such as the former NSDAP party headquaters, now oddly enough a drama and music collage, and the beerhall where Hitler took control of the Nazi party.
Had another beer garden dinner, and we actually had beer this time. Andy and I really actually liked it...Helen...not so much.
Next day was onwards bound to PRAGUE, where we vowed to live like Kings thatnks to the exchange rate of 30:1. Whoop.
We spent most of our full day in Prague wandering the castle in the old town, trapped like in Fort Boyard, and sampling the tourist shops. the defianate highlight of Praha, with thanks to Hargreaves, was the evening spent at an underground jazz club (Bill Clinton jammed there!), watching the Praha Big Band, who were EXCELLENT. A great evening had by all.
Also bought a questionably cheap 'mini guitar', but then Andy broke most of the strings...
Also met up with Andy and Kieren for drinks on the fake Berlin beach. Goodtimes.
And now for Berlin...TALLY HO (OSCAR WILDE PUB)
Love to all
