Luke 15:11-32

Finally caught a flight and arrived home this weekend.
The body was in a pretty bad state after Prague, had the Dts for the first few days back. Went back football training on Tuesday night - my shooting and fitness needs a bit of work to say the least.
Going to take it easy for the rest of the week and then i'll make a start on finding a job. Its strange to be back home after nearly two years. Went down to the pub on Sunday and nothing has really changed in the locality.

Still Here

Still here in Prague. Have missed 2 flights home. This beer for a euro a pint and the world cup starting at 3pm is killing me. Drank from 3pm to 7am this morning. Hopefully i'll get a new flight and be home within a week.

Czech Mate

Here in a little picturesque town in southern Czech at the moment. Spent a week in Prague before coming here. I return today and will probably go to Frankfurt to see the England game tomorrow. Some lads have rented a car and it doesn't seem so expensive.
Have done alot of drinking here, pints in local bars costs about a dollar. Plan to fly home from Frankfurt next Friday.

Warsaw

Due to the alcohol ban, I took the train to Warsaw last night (3 hours) with two English guys and an Australian. We stayed out till the early hours and took a train back this morning again. It actually took three trains to get home as we were not in the best mental condition and hopped on the train to Prague instead of Krakow (after a quick snooze at the train station).

Prohibition

Here in Krakow, arrived here on a bus from L'viv yesterday. Its took 4 hours to get across the border, so got very little sleep. The Pope arrives here this weekend and the Polish have brough in prohibition, starting at 6pm tonight - crazy!
With that in mind I went out last night and gave it a good lash. Had an appointment with the police at 10am this morning to report the theft of my small backpack. Decided while I was in the area this morning that i'd call in to the station (8am). They told me to go home and sober up. They even rescheduled the meeting for 2pm to allow me to sleep it off :)

L'viv

Its my second day here in L'viv. Arrived here at 5:40am on the train from Odessa and had to wander around until after nine - the time the hostel reception opened. The town is full of cobbled streets and churches. The weather yesterday was great but it has being raining constantantly today. Have booked a night bus to Krakow tonite, cost me 100 hrn and the trip supposedly takes 10 hours.

Munster

Here in an internet cafe listening to the Munster match. The two Irish bars here are owned by locals and only have local satellite, so have to listen to it here. Should have stayed in Kiev. This place is a big tourist spot in summer and the night clubs at the beach had their opening night last night. Went to Ibiza with a Brazilian guy and Scottish guy, was good fun but expensive, spent over $50 last night. Have left my Babushka and am staying on the couch of the Brazilian guy.

Babushka

Here in Odessa, a southern town on the Black Sea at the moment. Arrived here this morning with no map or information (the hostel which was meant to open in April won't be open 'till July) after a 12 hour night train from Kiev. I got talking to a Babushka named Maria at the train station and bargained here down to 70 Hrn a night for the spare room in her house. When she showed me the room she thought I might like to pay the origional price of 100 Hrn as it was so nice - she was talking to the wrong man there.
She asked me what time i'll be back tonite and I told her some where between 9pm and 9am - she looked a bit worried! Want to call into the Irish Pub here and find out if they are showing the Munster game tomorrow, if so I may have an early one tonite. Also I know no one here.
