Prauge, Stonehenge, Bath, Vanessa's Bday

Blogging isn't as appealing as it used to be. I guess that's because I feel sort of at home here. Things are becoming normal and don't seem as exciting. I'm sad though. Just as I am really getting used to Brighton, I am about to leave. I guess that's okay though. I feel sort of bored tonight.

Okay, so let's backtrack a little bit. Prague!

Lauren and I got to Prague on a Thursday night. The first thing we did was try to find our way to our hostel. It took a really long time and we could not figure out the busses. When we got to our hostel, we realized it was the wrong one. Finally we found it. It was a college dorm that looked pretty much like a jail. It was kind of depressing. So then we went to go buy some water at this store/bar thing. Immediately we felt like we were being ripped off. That kind of sucked. So then we decided to shower.. so when we got in the bathroom we were like hmm why are their urinals? I don't get it. So we showered, not even thinking that we were in the mens bathroom, which we were. haha. It was okay though, we laughed about it after.

The next morning we went on a 6 hour tour. We had this awesome Czech tour guide who told us so much about the history of Prague. He was hilarious too. With that tour we pretty much saw everything. We also got a river cruise and 3 course czech meal. It's crazy how old some of the buildings are there. The Charles bridge is older than the USA! Nuts. The city was so pretty. It was really great.

Since we had seen everything the day before, Lauren and I just kind of wandered around. While I was trying to buy postcards, the guy working at the shop said he would give me a discount if I kissed him. It creeped me out and I ran away. We avoided him the rest of the trip. haha

Last day we mostly just saw the Jewish Quarter and went to museums and stuff. The Old Jewish Cemetery was probably one of the coolest things we saw there. That sounds so weird, but its true. Then we flew home.

Sorry that was a really brief overview. I guess look at the pictures? haha. I dont know.

Last Friday Vanessa and I went to Stonehenge. That was cool but one of the things I only want to do once. On our busride there a bee flew through the window and landed on my knee. I screamed really loud and everyone looked at me. For like 10 minutes the bee WOULD NOT move. I was freaking out. Even as I walked off the bus, it stayed there. Turns out our bee friend was quiet dead. haha. Still scared me. The theories of how stonehenge was build were so funny. Some people think it was the devil or Merlin! haha. Awesome.

Then we went to the Roman Baths. that was kind of cool.. but weird. I don't know. we drank from this fountain of bath water. It supposed to be really good for you, but it tasted like egg. It was gross gross gross.

Monday we celebrated Vanessa's bday. We ate, went bowling, and ran around on the marina. There are these amazing donuts on the pier. OMG. So good. I ate 5 in 2 days. haha.

Ag. I'm so lazy. I posted pictures though. Go look at them Sorry this post is lame.
