"DAMN"

	The Europe blog part 1	543 days ago
	After months of waiting I have finaly got round to retriving what I wrote about the Europe trip at the time. So here is part one. Many thanks to Jake for the Spell Check. Writing some what of a recap right now as I sit alone for breakfast. The trip has had its ups and downs so far. The first day was traveling not much relay happened mainly sleep. The second day is were it began. To start with at 10 am we visited the nuremberg court rooms were the post war trials were held. This was a very interesting place but it didnt help that the majority of us were still tired thanks to the lack of sleep the night before. From there we headed to the youth hostel were we were staying for the night. Before the the trip we were told to get into a trio obviously mine was titch and jake. The way the rooms worked at the hostel we were in the same room. After changing are clothes and having a wash we set out on the subway. We arrived this huge station were we meet up with some german girls from a school an a hour away from nuremberg. Me and andy went with a and b. We were sent out to find out more about the city. We ended up visiting a modern art museum, the town walls, an imax cinema that was deep in the ground and an unopen shopping center. We were secduled to meet at the castle at 5.15 pm our group got slightly lost and turned up late but we got there in the end. After the meeting place we were given an hour with our new german friends so we headed straight for the square. In this square there was what seemed to be an all year round christmas shop. Some went in there but the majority stayed outside. Now outside there was this monument with a golden ring on it witch our german friends told us that he you turn it then it will give you good luck. Now many of you will know that I dont beleive in that stuff but I guess when in rome. After this hour was up we meet at a restaurnt and had a meal with our german friends. The food was nothing to rave about, It was some potato thing and some german sausage. Now over this meal jake was accused of over ambitious flirting mainly by em and sash but im still siting on the fence on that one. After we said goodbye to the germans we headed to a beer hall were em, sash and charlotte for some reason decided that they had to get some german guys numbers which they did. I dont know what that was ment to prove but there you go. I didnt like the beer hall much it was a bit of dive and realy warm we left and went back to the hostel and to sleep. The second day was a bit of an early start with up having breakfast and being at the coach and packed for 9.15 am. On the COACH we headed back to the center of nuremberg and what was ment to be the nazi rally center but was not finished thanks to the war. that place was huge. We also went to some other places I cant remember. After lunch things took a turn for the worst. On the drive to prague we were pulled over by the customs. That turned out to be fine. After a couple of hours drive we got to our hotel. At the hotel there was a small problem with the rooms. This took an hour or so to sought out. Now the rooms them selves were a bit of a problem the trios were broken and I was sharing a room with josh jennings. Over the past 5 years I may have said 5 words to him including happy birthday. So this was going to be an odd situation. After dinner and freshening up we headed to the bar. Now I dont drink so if anyone is offended by what I say put that down to my naivity. People I think took the first night to hard, people seeming to just have drink after drink. Mostly cocktails, I dont know but I think people were drinking for the sake of drinking which is a pet peeve of mine. During this time someone asked me if I was ok, which got me thinking. That question is a bit of a loaded one. If some one ask's you that question you are probably not being your normal self. So do you 1 say you are ok but you are probably lying or 2 bog someone down with something trivial. After several drinks a group of us headed back to jake and titchs room. After a couple of mins charlotte came to jakes room and said 2 year 12s chucked a tv out the window. *face palms* after being slightly worried about being thrown out we decided to go back to our rooms. After waking up today I went to breakfast were this entry started. After waiting about an hour I went for a walk around the hotel. Turns out that I went to the wrong restaurnt *face palms again*. As I finished writing this we are allowed to stay in the hotel and we are on the way to lidice
