again tired in prague

ok its official me and shane are officially ill!!!!
we have contracted the very much fatal disease of stay-another-night-iness....
yes that means we are still in prague.after originally only planning for 5 days we have ended up taking advantage of the 7th night free bonus and the 8th night paying attraction of the hostel.....
reasons for:
1st night, get here and we wonder about as far as a restaurant down the road and pln for a nice quiet night just monging out and taking advantage of the lack of pillows here.....but unfortunately as me and shane are just so socially attractive(as in people cant stop talking to us) we ended up befriending some rather interesting scottish girls who were planning to go out for drinks etc that night as you end up doing in prague right?so we accompanied them out knowing full well that we would be a bit tired the next day but ready for action none the less....get to the club and all is fine untill the girls meet a guy who is brothers with someone they went to school with(tedious link or what)and so of course one of them ends up in his arms, as most girls seem to....ahem....well someones at least.....but as he is a kiniving little so and so he offers her a pill and being a bit under the influence of alcohol she accepts.hence starts the comedown of the night......after about half an hour of her being dissapeared from view we eventually find her staggering about with this guy, obvioulsy the copious amounts of alcohol and pill didnt mix very well.the interesting thing is she had a bf back home but was dangerously close to cheating on him, however as she was so leggless every time they got close she just kinda slumped away from him.kinda helpful i suppose???but when we found out what had gone on we quickly fetched some water for the lass and started to get together to leave to return to the hostel.unfortunately outside we found that the taxi was only capable of taking 4 people?so one of us would have to either go in another taxi or just walk.....and as the soberest of the group i volunteer for the mission.....now not normally would i go running through city centres but i have to say running through prague at about 4 in the morning was an interesting experience to say the least.and by some kind of miracle i managed to not only find the hostel but to get there and meet the guys from the cab before they had even got into it!!!kudos to me eh???
the next morning they all seemed to be suffering from the night before but still have an abundance of energy, well enough to throw sheets over the skateboarders that had managed to rampage through the hostel causing much havoc and generally annoying the hell out of the everyone in existance...especially when trying to sleep(it has still continued to this point though).as well as trapping and cutting off the "skatepark" they had built shane joined in and started sac races up and down the length of the dorm with the sheets that the cleaner had nicely piled up.....and seemed somewhat amused as she saw how her washing was getting dirtier and dirtier by the minute, not to mention when we tied shane and one of the girls to each other and left them to their own devices.....ahem.....
we did eventually escape the girls and made it up to prague "castle" ok its not a real castle its a big old gothic church with houses surrounding it on a hill, not a castle!!!!
we ended up going out again that night with a couple of american girls that we had met as well that day ending up back in the club again and with one of them having slightly too much to drink.....2 bottles of wine worth......pretty much since then we have been doing the touristy thing during the day and meeting people and going out with them in the nights.
however a couple of nights ago me and shane ventured out into the unknown realm of just us two drinking in prague together....and then proceeded to end up in the zizkov area.....which to us was full of shady dark very "local" pubs and bars and a few burnt out cars!!!at which point we decided it would be a good idea to return to the main streets and either go back to the main square or just find a slightly brighter bar.and much to our happiness we did find a new bar...and a new friend....in a man about the size of shane but built with a barrel in his chest.the guy didnt speak any english but immediately as we walked into th bar he welcomed us as strangers and told us to sit with him, so being the open minded sligthly worried but up for a laugh guys we are we sat besidehim and listened to his stories of his life and the things that he has done and does.much of which was translated in very small broken german/french and alot of hand signals with my interpretaion for shane when the language derived away from the simple words....so our friend Deano: father is from hungary, mother from slovakia, born in czech rep.doesnt like german beer but loves both czech pils and english beer.used to be a captain in the communist times in charge of operations at the airport but now after the fall of the communism he is now working with sniffer dogs in the security control.....bit of a demotion.....and has to work 20 hours a day with his 3 dogs one of which was in the bar with him, and im not joking this thing was as long as both of my hands together and so scared it seemed as if it just wanted to die right there and then....poor thing...but the little bugger did try to bite me once when i was stroking the top of its head either that or it was yawning and i put my hand in the way?after drinking our first drinks rapidly to b able to leave Deano bought us both another drink each from the rather attractive bar maid that he seemed to be trying desperately to chat up.after this we felt doomed to be trapped for a while at least but then he started to show us the scars he has from the battles he has been in....as in long scar down his belly from being knifed open and a coulpe of bullet holes in his hands....freaky stuff eh?well after still humering him for a while and eventually trying to tell him who we were and what we were doing here i go to get him a drink and enable us to leave with a clear conscious but when i turn back around i see shane and him having a finger wrestling competition....i mean of all the things?this guy had massive arms and shane thought he could beat him?eh???
after eventually leaving the bar when shane had finsihed tickling his hands.....we headed back into town and proceeded to get rather drunk in several different bars but the highlight of our night we belive is going past the bar of one...well bar and asking for two beers and when we returned the guy had got us a table and had them both freshly waiting for us there....now thats what i call service!!!!
if anyone does come to prague take a day trip to Kunta Hora (maybe not spelt exactly like that???)it is wirth it to see the bone church, yes you heard me you go insid and the whole place is decorated with the bones of 40000 people in it!!!!eeriee is one way of putting it but knowing that they had been in there for about 400 years before they were properly cleaned first is even worse i think.....
seen so much architechture here and pretty things i just cant write about it all so ill just leave it to you if you ever come here to find it all out for yourselfs.....
however hope that you dont get rudely awoken by two girls that you met in budapest poking you at half seven in the morning calling out "hi santa!!"not impressive but they did end up going out with us last night to the 4 story club and we got back at about 5 in the morning....yeah one of those nights and to top it off i was bloody tour guide "santa" for the day taking them around where i had already been and showing them all the sights i coul squeeze into one day whilst shane laid in bed feeling slightly ill that was proven to the exten of how ill he felt when we went to our local that night for food(when i say local i mean we haveeaten in there everynight since we got here and can have a steak meal with side desert and beer for under 5 pound!!!)and decided to make it all the way to the bathroom open the oilet door and throw up all over the toilet and surrounding walls!!!very nice to after leaving a large tip to make up for the mess we hastily left and that was pretty much it for shane that night in the way of food or drink....shame.
ok hopefully we will be leaving tommorrow and ill try to get back in berlin which should be about in a week so not too long folks!!!
so ttfn
