21 Taking over Prague



When we arrived on our night train to Prague we were welcomed with open arms by our friend's mom who lives here in Prague. Not only are they letting us stay in their extra apartment, but when we got there the fridge was stocked with food.
Thank you Goran and Mrs Topalo, you are too generous and the place is great.
We are now pumped because we can unpack our bags and scatter our things for a few days.
Adam aka Borat and I spent the next few days walking the entire city. We went to a castle, that's right, a real castle so this time when adam points and says castle it actually is. We saw the famous Charles bridge, went to the little island off the river that had an exhibit that I had seen over two years previous in Portugal of a famous photographer who takes pictures all over the world. We walked through the old Jewish area of town, the main squares and then made our way up to the highest point in the city. Petrin is a tower that is on a high hill that we had to climb over 300 stairs to get to the top and overlooked all of Prague. Near petrin was a mirror maze along with magical mirrors that transformed our bodies in many strange ways. We spent hours in this little room that was no bigger than the size of a kitchen laughing until we had tears. I don't know if it was really that funny or just that the time we went we were in the mood for it.
We've had a couple of long nights out on the town in some clubs where we took over the dance floor and mingled with locals. The first night out we were talking to two girls and when they asked if we had girlfriends, Borat came out and explained to these girls that he has a wife, but she is at home in a cage. These girls were trying to figure out if they understood right and kept repeating "You keep her in a cage"? Needless to say that were quite nervous of the both of us at this point so we told them that it was just a joke. Another night out between walking from one club to another we stopped in casino. This so called casino and 3 rooms about the size of high school class rooms. We were the only people in the casino and went to the black jack table. We ordered our free drink and put our bets down. Our new favorite drink is apple juice with vodka, it has to be 100 percent juice, not the fake juice stuff, but trust me it's amazing. After I one the first bet with all the money I had I stopped playing and sipped on my drink while adam played about 10 hands and won as well. So after about 10 minutes of playing we both left with more cash than we started and a free drink in our bellies, they loved us there.
After our short visit to the next club we decided to jog back to the apartment which suprisingly we made and my sandles survived as well. We saw some interesting outfits out and about as well that you will get to see when I put the pictures up.
A couple more days in Prague and then off to Croatia.
Wa Wa Wee Wa

Let me know if anyone tries the apple juice and vodka. about 1-4th to 1-3rd vodka.
