Ireland shouldn't talk about soccer...

...unless they're in the world cup. As for rumours of my snoring, I can't attest to that. I can't hear it and I sleep beautifully

So we just spent the past 10 hours or so travelling from Krumlov to Olomouc based on raving reviews from some travellers we met. Czech it out (haha, brilliant Dzido) www.hostelolomouc.com

It was kind of ridiculous with the trains. As Paul put it, it took us less time to cross the Atlantic! Either way, we came here on a bright note as tomorrow is some big city festival that we will look into. Maybe ride a merry-go-round or something. On the way down here, i spent the train time listening to music, reading, musing, sleeping etc but at one point I found a group of 6 or so Czech travellers sitting in a compartment playing folk songs and having a great time. I snuck in and asked to listen and enjoyed myself for a little while. It was hilarious, they knew maybe 5 chords or so between all of them and were playing on a tiny, beat up, cracked, guitar but were having such a blast. I couldn't help but smile and clap along to the beat.

Once again, time runs short, have to leave hastily. But I'll come back with some more pictures soon. I'll let paul fill you in on the historic aspects fo the town and travels. I miss you all!
