Prague Day 2

Hey everyone!
So I thought since I've got free internet, I'd bore you with my daily activities. Unfortunately the computer towers, or hard drive, or what-ever. That main computer thingy is locked in a sort of box, so I can't upload photos :(
So today I took my time-wandered around, bought a garnet necklace. You know, the normal stuff.
Then I got to Prague Castle and spent the rest of the day exploring the grounds. Was REALLY cold, so I had to take a break and get a grog and ginger cake. Yum!
Castle was awesome! St. George's Basilica was AMAZING! And I LOVED the Golden Lane!

The exciting thing is that I emailed Lenka (Mum's cousin's daughter), she got back to me and is picking me up tomorrow to go drive to see Camilka (her sister) and her family! How cool is that! I'm so excited! But a little nervous, cause my Czech is still non-existent. I wish it was better, but have been working on it.
But I'm so excited about seeing them, and particularly about meeting Camilka's kids!

The other thing I need to tell you is that I called home today, thinking that I had this great new sim card and it would cost me like nothing. Instead, the 8 minutes cost me 14 pounds!!! Not Happy! So I won't be calling people any time soon :( And it does cost me to receive calls, but not nearly as much. So my number is 077 197 219 77. I hope that works, cause I can't find anything on the O2 website to tell me whether you guys have to put numbers in front of that to reach me. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Please also feel free to call me :) When this one runs out, I'll look around for a better value sim card. Again, if anyone has any ideas of a good one, let me know.

Okay, so that's about it.
Love you all and miss you all SO much!

Contiki

Hey everyone!
Sorry sorry sorry sorry SORRY! We are officially the worst bloggers EVER!!!
But in our defence, we have been having the most amazing time EVER! FACT!
We are now in London, having finished our Contikii tour yesterday. It was AMAZING! The whole group was so incredible and basically everyone got along awesomely.
The tour started in London, then went down through France, a few nights in Barcelona, over to Italy for just over a week, then up through Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, and finally through Nederlands back to England. Awesome! Some highlights were:
1. Moulin Rouge- OMG!!! The costumes and the whole atmosphere was incredible. A definite must for Paris.





2. Tapas Bar in a Barcelona market - you know how we are with food, and when your enjoying amazing food while surrounded by fresh fruit, nuts and sheeps heads... What could be better?





3. Mask shopping in Venice- We both bought gorgeous venecian masks. I only hope George can get them home okay :)





4. Buying a patent leather, snake skin, bright yellow hand bag in Rome- Her name is Isabella and she is totally hot!





5. Beer hall in Germany- litre glasses of fantastic beer and huge hocks of pork in this massive noisy hall with great traditional music. What could be better?





6. Sex show in Amsterdam- Yes, I'm sorry Lollie and Grandpa, but Georgie and I went to a sex show in Amsterdam. Crazy Crazy Crazy! But don't worry- Not about to go changing professions just yet :)





7. The bus trips and the people- I can't go on enough how fantastic a time we had with all the people. They were all so beautiful. I can't believe we were only with them for three and half weeks. It feels like we've known them forever. And I can't believe we wont see most of them again. There were many tears yesterday and today. We're all so pathetically attached to each other, that we can't go a day without meeting back up, so we've now had two more dinners with everyone after the completion of the tour yesterday. I miss them already!

So now Georgie flies home tomorrow and I fly to Prague. So this is where the 'Yaya and Gorgeous escape' finishes, and it will become the 'Yaya escape'. We'll see how I go on my own:) Currently planning to have a week in Prague, then hopefully WWOOFing at two different farms in the Czech country-side for a month. Then we'll see.


But better fly. Love you all so much and we really have been missing you all like crazy. I'll try to be better with my blog entries, now that I don't have a gorgeous little blister to distract me.


Love Sascha
