The places we added along the way!!!!!

Banana: Austria (Innsbruck, Vienna) Czech Repbulic(Prague)



Sooo last Shan had left off was us just arriving in Austria Innsbruck, this was not in the plan from the start of our trip but when you have a EuroRail pass the opportuinity is much easier to hope on a train last min and see where it takes you. Our first night arriving we got there late because of wrong information so we missed our original train yet again another one missed not to pleased!! But we made it there in one piece at 11pm... Oh an dthe owner of the hostel was not so pleased with us at all... We were put in a 8 bedroom doorm room with all boys, which we didnt understand because it was empty, but whatever they were pretty nice guys... It happens that two of the guys in our room wwere from BC and from Maple Ridge of all palces and I lknow there sisters.... Its such a small world!!!! Our first full day there we just went into the little town which we walked along the river to get too, it was very beautiful and very nice warm weather still. We had lunch at a little cafe and just walked around town in the shops and just explored... Later we decided to have a picnic in the park by the river with two bottles of VINO suprising NOT lol.... WE went there around 6pm and didnt head back until after dark it was so nice and relaxing from the previous 10days of no stop. Vienna we got there later in the day and it was pouring rain out and cold soo we decided to do our laundry saty in catch up on some stuff and make a home cooked meal!!! meaning SOUP lol!!!! The next day we went to see this famous castle in Vienna but yet again it was pouring out and we were freezinf\g but we sucked it up and went!!! It was worth irt even with the rain because of all the views from the main look out point were amazing!! We caught the tram after the castle headed into town to the shops to just loook around and get warm lol..,.. went back early made a nice dinner and went to bed early!! The next morning we had an early train to catch atr 10am to meet the Aussie girls in Czech Repblic (prague).... so we caught a 4 hour train ride to the girls to start our little reuinion all over, oh and our girlfriends from Ireland had messaged us to tell us they were coming to Prague top meet us for the following weekend to party!!!! woot woot!!!! We arrived in Prague realzing we needed to learn a new currency yet again soo not fun when you are soo use to the Euros!!!! makes it difficult and a BITCH!!!! Anywyas we caught the metro towards our hostel and yes yet again we got lost!!!!! I dnt think there is one place yet where we have not got lost in yet!!!! lol We arrived at our hostle and it was a saturday n they were advertising a pub crawl of 4 bars and you drink for free as much as you can before you leave there bar within an hour! soooo we started with 2 bottles of vino and then worked our way to voldka , free shots and a good game of KINGS CUP with some british ppl we had met!!! needless to say we made it to one pub and were at our hostle by 12am, yes we are very SAD!!!! lol oh and then we had some random guy come knocking on our door saying he was security but really he just wanted us to come party, and then he brought this hole Polish soccer team into our room so we had about 10 non speaking English boys in our room just staring at us!! So bella and I convienced them we would change and come down to get rid of them, but we never went down!!!!! Oh and then we ahd them come knocking on our door at 730am and would not leave us alone for about 45mins!!!! SOoo when we rolled out of bed it wasw about 11am with pretty bad hangovers, we got ourselves togethter and headed to town to see the old square of Prague and to shop for some warm clothes as we had dropped temperatures drastically within days!!! We basically have shopped everyday since we have been in Prague because its so cheap!!!! :) On our final night at our hostle we all suddenly woke up at 1am, not just one of us but all of us and we satyed up till 3am talking about the war and Mirrior Kats why i have no idea but it was pretty funny to us lol!!!!The next day we had to switch hostel and we were moving closer to the main square in Prague within walking distance!!!! We made the Aussie girls there first real thanksgiving dinner and it was one of the best meals we have made so far! Its been raing here alot on and off aand all we have been doing is walking around trying to keep warm! On our secoind night at this hostel we wanted to see an english movie sooo we went to the Inglourios Basterders and we were told it was 70 percent english the rest in French /German, try more like 50/50 sooo not impressed!!!We went on a free walking tour of the History of Prague and teh war and our tour guide was crazy!!!! Lets just say hes a little to honest!!!! We were Freezing our butts off and it was about 2 degrees out! We were on the tour for about 3 and a half hours, when it was over we basically ran to the mall in the main square to warm up and buy leg warmers!!!! we were suppose to go out fo rdinner but we said screw it because we were to cold! We came home made soup and sandwhiches and it was great!!!

Today we woke up to light snow and the Aussie girls have never seen snow fall so it was pretty exciting to see them get excited about it, even though its not sticking its still pretty cool, but really cold! Todays weather is 1degrees but they say it feels like -1degrees!!! oH and our heater in our room isnt always working so we are freezing to death.... We walked to see the Castle in Prague in the snow the church on the grounnds was alot nicer looking than the castel it self! but i guess after seeing so many of the samethings everything starts to look the same lol!!!! Now we are heading out again in the freezing weather yes were crazy but hey we are now taking in as much as we can before we have to leave, which by the way we DONT WANT too!!!!! But i hope you enjoyed this blog!!! Miss you all love you!!!!!



Ps. the Aussie girls are coming for a visit to Canada in November woot woot!!!!!
