dis party is on FIREEEEE!

yo from krakow! just got here after a ridiculous 9 hour journey on two trains. bloody sloooooowwwww! in blazing heat too. but we met some nice people on the way i guess. not had the chance to update the blog since cologne as my wifi on my phone is kaput and there hasn't been any computers at our last hostels.

so the last time i wrote was in cologne. we went up the dom cathedral- never walked up so many steps in my life! but the views from the top were amazing. Germany is so hot right now(!) it's unbearable! we spent about two days in cologne, drinking alot of kolsh. from here we went to berlin for around 3 days. we did a 4 hour walking tour of the city (!!!!) in the greatest heat wave ever. learnt a whole lot about the history of berlin and the war and stuff, it's all been very educational! our hostel was on a boat- a little bit run down, but had character and a nice top deck to watch the world go by in the evenings, about two minutes away from the east side gallery of the berlin wall. There was a currywurst van party on the night we got there with djs sat up on top of it and flashing discotheque lights and actually really good djing! It was great cos there was a kiosk (newsagent type) next door where we bought our beers for around 1euro! great night, but we had so much to do during the days and it was, again, ridiculously hot so we had to pace ourselves incase we got heat exhaustion or something like that.

anywwaayy, from here, we went to prague which was beautiful. two nights and 1 and a half days here was enough to get a grasp of the place. the architecture here is amazing, and it's a wonder how it is still standing with it being so old. there were ALOT of tourists here, especially in the old market square. the first night we were there was the first night of the prague jazz festival and we stumbled across it by pure accident. we saw the Stanley Clarke Trio for FREE and it was amazing. the whole atmosphere of the crowd was uncomparable. it was alot of fun.

now we're in krakow. we have 4 days here. tomorrow we are going to find a laundrette and do some laundry- exciting! everyones running out of knickers (inc jack) so it's getting pretty desperate. the next day we'll go to auschwitz-birkenau, and the next the salt mines. we have more time here than any other place to kind of relax a bit. next stop: bratislava which will be our first sleeper train. then it's to Budapest (!!!!) to see Soner Kemal and his mate from home. looking forward to the big outside club place i've been told about. we've not really had chance to party much which isn't that bad, seeing as though we're doing so much during the day, but i think i'll crave it by the time i get to budapest. lolzz.

i'm mega hungry now so im going to go to mcdonalds and get a euroburger. or rather a 3zloty burger which is LESS THAN A EURO!! WINNER!!

rice and peace xxxx
