Where am I?...

Once again, were woken to the pacing of Brandon. Nobody had smiles on their faces. It was cold and overcast and only about 6 o’clock in the a.m. the best part was that we still needed to get to the train station and gather our things so we could find a campground. We knew the general location of most of the campgrounds in the city so we thought we could just walk over that way and see what we stumbled upon. The best part about this trip was walking over a train bridge that didn’t allow but barely had enough room for a person to cross with our massive packs. We made it without any casualties. The bad news was that all of the campsites weren’t open until 10. We had a while to wait yet.

We parked ourselves on the sidewalk underneath a bus stop kiosk and waited a few hours until the campsite offices opened. The site we decided to stay at was pretty cheap and had a bungalow for the four of us. We through our stuff down and tore our gear off like it was infested with flesh-eating flea-mites. I had never been as comfortable as I did at that very moment in my entire life. It didn’t take long to fall into dream land.

We spent the rest of the day on a walk in what we thought was going to be toward the city but ended up leading us almost out of Prague. At least we got to witness our first Czech bowling match that was taking place at the Troja Chateau. We didn’t stay long. Just long enough to understand how the game was played. We then continued to follow the river long enough to realize that we were never going to make it to the city centre heading in the direction we were going. We stopped to admire some snails and eat our din din and then headed back to camp.

The topic of Christmas came up because whenever I put my iPod on shuffle there is usually a random Christmas tune thrown in every 10 songs or so. We discovered that this night was the one half mark of the year before Christmas! So I decided that it would be appropriate to play Christmas tunes all night long. It most definitely was. We went to bed a little early since I had to be up early to meet Vanessa at the train station in the morning, the third time getting to see our favourite cruise-mate. Merry Half Christmas to all and to all a good night.
