We're In Prague Czech Us Out!!

Just got to Prague, which is awesome, staying in a great place and city is awesome. We had a very near miss when we first got here, but we'll save that story for when we get home, lets just say we very nearly became worse off than many communist refugees. But other than that prague is awesome, went to a jazz bar last night. scott wants to talk about krakow first though, so over and out for now. Basically last thing before leaving Krakow we went to Auchwitz and Burkenheim (spelling couretsy of Dani coz i didn't have a clue) and I don't think I should say it was good, in fact all the normal verbs to describte tourist attractions are out, but I think awesome (not in a "it was great" way but a literal, but a shocking scale of it way) is the best I can find. it really was shocking, we watched a film after (in polish coz we missed the english version) but the general jist was pretty clear, graphic is the least i can say. ive got to say though, the worst thing about it was the smell, like a hospital. i dont know if that was psycho-sematic though. I think basically all we can tell you is things you already know from TV documentories and History lessons, but its totally different to see the sheer size of the place, and the piles of shoes etc. that they found when they liberated the camp - just to think each pair of shoes is one person. If Shindlers list made you cry then it'll blow you mind to see it in reality.
Anyway, after this made a move for Prague, which has been awesome. We found a really good, authentic czech pub with a really cheap menu (like 100 Kc or less for a main course). Only problem was when the bill came it was getting on for twice what we expected. He had charged us 4 times the cost of my dumplings (because there where 4 on the plate), a service charge of 60 Kc (not mentioned on the menu), for my beer the more expensive not the cheaper one (like 8 Kc extra)and had ontop of that put a 10% or 15% tip. We dicussed this with him, explaining that its common practice to charge the price stated on the menu. He then dropped everything bar the 60 Kc service charge and extra 8 Kc for beer, which works out to just under 3 euro's over what he should have charged us, so i gave up arguing and paid at this point - still the cheapest meal we've had in Prague, and one of the better ones other than the service.
Lol scott was very angry, it was quite amusing. nearly as angry as when this hostel in prague gave away our rooms, so he told them that maybe they should train their staff to take names for reservations and not give away rooms in future. hahahahahaha. To be fair, we had a reservation, the lady on the phone said that unless she had our name written down we didn't, I explained we had offered to give a name but been told there was no need, so prehaps if they need names for booking staff should be told to take names for bookings, seems logical to me. it was very logical, but also very funny!
anyway, i cant believe we only have 2 places left to go, it makes me very sad. although very surprised as our bags are still almost in 1 piece!! we're just hoping they come off the plane like that aswell! Lol..
ok.. next thing.. free walking tour! scott made us get up really early to go on this walking tour which actually turned out to be quite good. (though i will never admit he was right) I'm pretty sure you just did but I'll be the bigger man and let it go. i should hope you'd be the bigger man seeing as im a girl! he admitted i was right and always am last night though, so i might let him have this one.
Anyway, what did we do in Prague - ummm, went out to Jazz Bars (one just round the corner from the one we went to last time, then the bar, not the actuall show, of the one we went to last time), drank lots of beer, and are just about to go to a Communism museum on our last day.
over and out chaps. we have to go as theres someone else waiting for the pc, plus we have a lot more beer to drink before we can leave!
Next stop Berlin.
lots of love to you all... dani and scott xxx
