After a tip off from one of Dave's mates we headed to a town called Cesky Krumlov, 3 hours south of Prague.  When we got there, what looked like an easy short walk to the hostel, turned into a long frustrating adventure (as Dave put it, not sure if 'Adventure' was what I was looking for at that time of night). Dave was adamant he knew where he was going, so who was I to question. The route took us slightly cross country (not what the map said) and resulted in me slipping in the thick 20cm plus snow and down a small hill with my backpack on. Dave thought this was hilarious especially as I couldn't get up. Anyway freezing cold and a while later we found the hostel thanks to a tip off from a local. So to recover and thaw out we enjoyed a few drinks by the fire and a lovely meal at the restaraunt, adjoining our hostel – Hostel...

First of all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone back home and fellow travellers. I hope the new decade has started well for everyone and you all brought in the new year with a bang. Thinking of you all back home over the last few weeks and missing you all. I cant believe we have been away for 3 months already.



So after a long overnight 15 hour train ride from Belgium we arrived in Prague. We always swear whilst on the train that we will never ever do overnight trains again, but being suckers for punishment we always go back on that statement. The overnight train was definitely an experience. As we left booking tickets till the final minutes all that was left was seated tickets in a cabin of six. Dave and I had to two middle seats nestled in amongst a chain smoker, some horrible body odour and someone who liked to stretch out over two seats when sleeping. So 4 hours later that we were meant to, extremely over tired and starving, we arrived at Praha Central Station a tad grumpy.
