• Best hostel yet

    11 Eylül 2017, Çek Cumhuriyeti ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Yesterday I had a good wander about, sweeping up the sights I hadn't managed to see yet. It was a slower pace though thanks to a large hangover from Karlovy Lazne (the 5 floor night club) with my friends from the walking tour.
    Chose a great spot for lunch overlooking Prague away from the tourists. In the evening everyone from the hostel got together for stew and then played a drinking game called spoons 🥄- great fun. A few more beers in the old square, you can have a decent night out with about £7 worth ha. Onto Munich today via Nuremberg.

  • Beer cheaper than water in Prague

    9 Eylül 2017, Çek Cumhuriyeti ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Yes really. It's £1.10 for half a litre. Safe to say I haven't really drank a lot of water so far. Arrived yesterday, dumped my bag and headed for a beer garden up in the hills overlooking Prague to meet everyone from the hostel.
    Had briefly met one person checking in so it was like looking for a needle in a haystack but found them somehow. Had a free dinner back at the hostel and then played drinking games before we headed off for a bar together.

    Today I spent the day with 2 Israelis and 2 Germans who I'd met on the walking tour and we explored Prague together. Meeting them later for a beer, and then heading for the biggest club in Central Europe. Prague is beautiful.

  • When in Hamburg...

    7 Eylül 2017, Almanya ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Eat a hambur..... oh. Tradition here is to have a fish roll down by the harbour. So that's what I did. 🐟
    Saw the sights of Hamburg today on a walking tour. Went up a massive Church tower to get a good view point. Only found out once I had got to the top that there was a lift. Wondered why no one else looked knackered. Got the lift down instead.
    The city hall had a WW2 bomb come through the roof but not explode, but was otherwise not hit during the war - while the rest of Hamburg was flattened. Mad
    Also Hamburg is apparently famous for a museum of miniature things. Checked it out. Turns out it is pretty good. Had a fully functioning miniature airport. Attention to details was mad. Also had a replica of the Hamburg stadium. Pretty sweet
    Prague tomorrow. 6h30m on the train. 🚂

  • Train on a ferry

    6 Eylül 2017, Almanya ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    Had breakfast at the hostel with my German friends heading for Sweden.
    Got on a train that itself got on a ferry. Still have no idea how it did that.
    Chatted with a lovely German lady on the train who wanted to practice her English.

    The German guy checking me in saw I was from Bristol and said Rovers or City. 20 minutes later we were still talking and a queue had developed behind me. Strangely he supports Berwick Rangers (the only English team to play in the Scottish leagues).

    Jumped on a couple of the commuter ferries to get a cheap tour of Hamburg from the harbour, only once I had spent 30 minutes figuring out how to use the metro to get there.

    Having a beer and some currywurst and resting my legs ready for another walking tour tomorrow.

  • Probably the best beer in the world

    5 Eylül 2017, Danimarka ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Met someone on a walking tour of Copenhagen who lives in Bristol. Small world! Going for a beer with them later.
    Covered a lot of ground today - 13km.

    Copenhagen is the home of Carlsberg and it tastes so much better here.

    Was on the end of more Brexit jokes today - so I've now decided I'm going to say I'm Irish ha. A Texan got most of the stick today from everyone.

    Danish tour guide Magnus kept saying for us to have a Hygge (pronounced 'Hoogli') time whilst in Copenhagen. Loosely translated it means 'cosy'.
    He also said there is such fierce rivalry between Sweden and Denmark that in Ikea, everything has a Swedish name, except for the toilet brush and carpet which are Danish ha.

    The most famous landmark gets a lot of stick from the locals. They all say it is shit so i had to confirm this myself. It's a little mermaid statue. And it is quite shit ha!

    Went to a good viewpoint up in a tower today, everyone was picking out lovely cathedrals and great architecture. Me? I was scouting for the Parken Stadium, home of FC København. Found it.

    Off to Hamburg tomorrow.

  • Copenhagen

    5 Eylül 2017, Danimarka ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Welcomed into the airport with a free coffee, nice first impressions of Denmark. Train into downtown Copenhagen and a walk to my hostel.
    Dumped my bag in a lock up and went straight to the hostel bar. Everyone hooked to their phones apart from one table, so went to that one and chatted with them all night. Germans, Americans, and an Aussie - all lone travellers. Everyone laughed at the Americans for Trump, then at me for Brexit ha.
    The hostel has a shared meal every night at 1830, a lovely idea to meet other people - it was Chili last night.
    Off to explore the city today.
