Only 5 more days left

May 29, 2008 - Prague, Czech Republic

Hey guys,

How are we all?? Im all good, expect Im starting to feel like I want to be heading back to London.  Travelling sure in hell takes it out of you! Im super tired and starting to really need my personal space.  We are with people 24 7 and its just getting all too much! But Im still having an absolute blast!

Today we are in Prague.  We arrived yesterday after a 9 hour bus ride.  On the way we stopped in at the Concentration Camp! Man, that place was the most airest place I have ever been too.  And it was soooo sad seeing and hearing what all those people went through! When everybody got back on the bus there was a different feel about the bus ride.  Everybody was down and thinking about all those people! But we arrived in Prague safely after that!  Had dinner and most of the people from our tour went to a beer factory, but I decided to stay back and spend some time on my own and have a early night, so I got almost 10 hours sleep last night.  Today we had a walking tour with a tour leader around Prague and then Angelica, Kristen, Rachel and Sean all headed off to explore! We had the most yummiest lunch at a Czech restuarant and then walked up to the Prague castle. Walked around the gardens and then headed back to the hostel.  They have planned a pub crawl for tonight, but think I might save a bit of money and stay back at the hostel again tonight and safe myself for the pub crawl in Berlin.

So....I did the skydive in Austria!!!! Oh my god!!! It was the best experience ever.  There were 5 of us that ended up doing it, and all had to do it seperately.  The guy that did the jumps was German and had been working down in Taupo for the last 6 months doing jumps over there.  I was the 4th person to go, and had to sit waiting for the longest time, as each jump took about 40 minutes.  The plane was the tiniest plane ever, and was the scarest thing about the whole thing.  It got quite bumpy on the way up over the Alps and into Germany.  Then when it was time to jump Freddy (the guide) opened the door and made me put my foot out on the step outside the plane.  He then said ready and pretty much pushed me out the door.  I screamed the whole way down and shouted heaps!! When the shoot opened, it hurt in between my legs and boobs, but that didnt matter cause once it was all set and opened he loosed the straps.  I got it all on DVD, so hopefully I can upload it once I get back to London!

Well I have just got a message to say that I only have 5 minutes left of the internet so I better finish it up!!

Love you all and missing you heaps!!

Wow, that skydive sounded amazing. Well done for not chickening out. It sounded so funny about you screaming all the way down. Can't wait to see the DVD sometime.
Glad to hear that you are having so much fun.

Hi sweetheart,
Sounds like a good sleep in a nice bed is just what you need. Hope you have recovered from your fall down the aisle of the tram. You will be giving NZers a bad name.
Love you
Mum
