tourists in the rain

bambam:prague,berlin and amsterdam

So i dont have any notes for this blog so im just gonna try and remember what we,ve done in the last week or so right now! ya right....

sooo in prague we mostly spent our days shopping! lol it rained and was freezzing cold almost everyday so we mostly tried to stay inside the heater stores lol. we did bear the freezing cold weather one day for a free walking tour! it was 3 hours long and by the end of it..no one really cared what he was tlaking about anymore we were frozen!! we made a bee line to the mall to warm up!! hahah we also choose to go to a warm english theatre one night!! we went to see inglourious bastards and when we got there we found out it was only 70-30 english and french n german...yaaa turned out more 50 50 lol but it was still a good movie! another night we went to a hockey game!! it was so cool...they were pretty minor league but had a whole group of fans at the end of the rink cheering for the WHOLE game...SPARTA SPARTA...and after 3 periods..kidnaa annoying lol they also had ACTUAL cheerleaders! in an ice areana..wearing minimal clothes..strange haha

On our last 2 nights in prague the irish girls flew over to see us!! so the 6 of us all had a shared dorm in prague! when they got there i showed them around town and we had some hot wine...which i am addicted to now! soo good..im getting the recipe! then that nght the 6 of us...2 canadians 2 aussie and 2 irish all went on a pub crawl!! it was pretty cool...free beer and free shots! a couple of the bars were pretty cool and the last 2 were just ok...all in all a good night! th next day we went to our favourite resterant the bohemian bagel and had breakfast which was delicous! then spent the day wondering town...had a nap and then went out for dinner..we went to this cute little resteraunt and were having a great time until they brought out our food haha shitty portions and they didnt take off sarahs anchovies and then tried to serve her the same pizza and then argues with us all about it lol to funny we went out on the town again and this time we went to a bigger club and had a blast...

the next day the irish girls left and we headed to berliN! a pretty hungover train ride and a relaxing night in berlin that day!!

our first day in berlin we wondered around the main square for a bit and then we went on another free walking tour!! this one wasnt as cooold but still cold! we saw alot of really cool things on it as well! we saw the berlin wall and hitlers bunker.and alot more berlin is a really interesting city. the next day we went to the sachsenhausen concentration camp. its something so hard to describe...the feeling there...it was really a humbling experience seeing the things that the human race are possible and of and the amount of pain that people endured and the conditions they were forced to live in an how far we.ve come now. it was a really really amazing experience.
that ngiht was another chill night after being in the freezing cold all day!
the next day we went to the east side gallery..its basically the longest remaining part of the berlin wall and each section a different artist has painted on it..there were some really amazing paintings there...really different and interesting. after that we wondered around some shops and then went to the anne frank musuem. again a really cool experience..all the old photos they had of the war and the diary entries by anne frank used as quotes everywhere...it was really sad actually...really makes u think about ur life and how much we have and how much we all take for granted!
that night we got some chinese and then went out to a club in east germany really cool club...sweet music and we danced until about 4am when the sbahn was free again and then went home! lol
we had to be up at 8am the next day for our train to amsterdam...ya ew. nottt fun. about a 6 hr train so when we got here it was dinner and sleep! we had english tv so we watched a movie and chilllled. felt great!
the next day we went into town and wondered the streets and the markets. IN THE RAIN we also went to a "coffee" shop but had no id so we couldnt sit inside...soo we went home...and were going to go back out but got a litttlee tired! ;) so we went to a cute little pub by our hotel and had an amazingg dinner...actual home cooked food which was delicious the pub was sooo loud tho dutch people singing and yelling over the loud music lol good times....we stayed in again and watched some mtv and slept early!
today is off to wonder town again...going to do the free walking tour and then go hang out at a coffee shop with some girls from our hostel and then check out the red light district tongiht!
this trip has been sooo amazing and we both realize how extremely lucky we are! sorry about the blog being all over the place this time...its hard to get the time to sit down and write it!!
love u all
