Leaving CZ tomorrow :(

Ahoj everyone!
So still am unable to upload photos on these crummy hostel computers. Hopefullz have better luck at the next one.
So I had a tragedy today. I'm talking the worst thing since I lost my Georgie! Or maybe since I accidently bought butter instead of cheese (and didn't realise till AFTER I had bitten into it).
That was also pretty bad.
But today's disaster was super bad! I stepped in this HUGE puddle in my NEW shoes!!!!!
Ahhhh!!!!
Bugger Bugger BUGGER!

:) Okay, so maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but my NEW shoes! Their so pretty and practical (yes, I've been sensible, Mum) and then they were wet and looked so sad for about 5 minutes, till they dried off in the super sunny sun (tis like summer here!), so I got over it in about an hour or so. :)

Firstly I'll just tell how I went to a concert with my cousin Lenka a few nights ago, before leaving Prague. Saw The Subways, UK indy rock band. They were probably more Georgie's style then mine (you would have LOVED them sweet!), but they were so full of energy, and the crowd was amazing! There was heaps of people crowd surfing and stage jumping and nuddy running. It was packed and sweaty and absolutely nuts! I loved it!
They were also supported by this new Czech band, Sunflower Caravan. Lenka couldn't figure out how to discribe them, and I really am not sure either. I guess they're KINDOV a LITTLE like Colplay, in that they had some really beautiful and emotive piano bits (the piano player was the centre and he was AMAZING) and then some really heaving and sometimes electronic bits. Quite original. But I bought their CD, so I can show you when I get home.

I'm back in Prague again after visiting Cesky Krumlov yesterday, staying there last night and today visiting Hluboka. Oh My Goodness they were unbelievable! Cesky Krumlov, for thoughs who don't know, is a medieval town in the south west of Czech, with a heritage town centre and beautiful castle. It's absolutely magical! I got there from Praha about 11am yesterday and wandered around the town centre. Then I went and did a tour of the castle, all murals and valted ceilings. I climbed up the tower, awesome photos!
By the time I finished that it was about 3pm and I was starving, so got a great pub lunch and wandered around the town some more before going to my hostel.
The hostel was fantastic actually. Was in the town centre, on the cliff with this great terrace for sitting, eating, drinking and looking out over to the castle!
Then this morning I went to Hluboka, a little town which I had heard has the most beautiful castle in CZ, or all of Europe according to my cousin, Stanja. Now I hate comparing places. When you travel around in Europe you often talk to people about different places, and there's often thoughs people who are like, yeah this place is okay, but so-en-so was SOOO much better, or my home is SOOO much better. STAY THERE THEN!!! It bugs me.
But I will say that Hluboka castle is probably the most fairy-tale-beautiful castle I have ever seen yet! And that's saying a big thing, because I've seen alot of castles now and they're all exquisite in each of their ways. Whether they are gothic, mysterious, vaulting, painted, gaudy, kitch, pearlescent... and so many other ways to describe all the different ways a castle may stand, they are all so beautiful, and I am definitely not castled-out yet.
It is so frustrating that I cannot put up photos, cause these places were awesome!
When I get to Barcelona, I will try to upload photos of these places.
And so I go to Barcelona tomorrow, around 4pm. Very respectable hour. I'm thinking tomorrow morning I will go to the Museum of Communism here in Prague. I haven't been to it yet, and people here say it is really very good. So my tomorrow morning probably wont be super smiley, but should be good.
Better go now. There's people waiting for the internet.
Thankyou so much for your posts.
Mum-definitely have to keep speaking Czech. I'm coming back here. I'll say it, I'm hooked. CZ is one of my favourite places in all the world!
Dad-I love your phonetic writing. I can just see you loling away thoughs sentences in a silly voice, with big hand gestures :) I miss you and your dad jokes and dad hugs so much!
