Nick and Sarah Go To Amsterdam So there's something I should mention about the Berlin Hostel before I get to the rest of the day. It was, without doubt, the noisiest set of mattresses ever created. Seriously, it was like a factory whose sole purpose was to create squeaks and creaks. Every time someone even remotely shifted their weight in their sleep you'd get to hear a massive "CREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK" and when you added it to the incredibly lou...

Berlin Day 2 - First Blood Part 3 So after the day yesterday, today just wasn't that exciting so this shouldn't be a thesis or anything. We slept in, then decided to see if we could get into a cheaper hostel closer to the public transport required for the airport. Unfortunately after walking for 30 minutes to get to the other hostel we were informed they didn't have any space. So we went to the hostel we just came from and found that they were booked for the ni...

A full day of Berlin or Berlin Down the House! So this may be a long entry as there was a lot that happened today. But bear with me because there was some interesting crap in here.

Prague Part 2 - The Devil Wears Prague-a? So we've come to the last part of our trip in Prague. First off it looks like I need to apologise. It looks like my previous mentioning of Sarah's love of waiting didn't go down well at all. In fact, she was furious about it. So much so that she refused to wake me up or even talk to me for the first half of the morning. I've apologized in person to her, but it's probably prudent to apologise over the intarwebs as well....

It's Prague time! So after another early morning wake-up we got on the train to spend 6 hours travelling to Prague. We've invariably heard that it's the most beautiful city in Europe but have also recently heard that we need to be very careful with our stuff as gypsies there will take everything that's not nailed down. And if it is nailed down, apparently they'll steal the nails as well. One group had been sleeping in tents while gypsies had been coming in the n...
