Czech us out

"...this is your Captain speaking. Welcome to Prague where the local time is 2.30 pm and the temperature is - wait for it... minus six degrees! Merry Christmas from all of us at Easy Jet."

Woo hoo!


Booked into hostel in Prague. Hell on earth. Did not want to touch anything. Went out for dinner at a place that nb´s uncle P recommended. Best meal we have had since being in the northern hemisphere. Yummo. Toured the city afterwards and booked into a hotel, because there was no way we were going back to that hostel. Hotel was gorgeous. Got a taxi to go and pick up our luggage from the hostel and back to the hotel. All good.

Up early for the bus to Cesky Krumlov, which is where we are now. It is the most beautiful town you have ever seen. Just gorgeous. There is snow everywhere. However, it looks like we won´t get any new snow fall because we were told by a local last night - IT IS TOO COLD TO SNOW!! Minus ten at the moment, it needs to be closer to zero in order to snow.

In the bus on the way here, I was reading the Czech Lonely Planet guide which said the horror film, 'Hostel' was set in Slovakia, but the hostel scenes were actually filmed in Prague. We know. We found it.

Merry Christmas everyone, from all of us here at team ianandan xx
