I think I’ve not so much as woken up with a smile on my face as actually been sleeping with one. I have to remind myself that last night was last night, there it shall remain, and the hard work must begin once more in earnest. The gang has managed to get up and do …

Golden game
After being hounded by tourism throughout Prague I’ve made the decision that I’ve done it, seen it and I can spend the weekend on the party circuit. Consequently I don’t get out of bed all day, until five slices of pizza and a beer sort me out. Joining a friend I made last night, I’ve even managed …

Coincidences
Waving Katty off at the train station and I feel the pang of sadness, but know that the big wide world once again is there for the taking. It’s always a heavy blow when you’ve been with a travel buddy for a while and then part ways, a melancolic trudge alone through busy stations. Except …

Zoo
I’ve been looking at things to do in Prague after seeing the main sites. After the hundredth museum I’m bored out of my mind. I don’t really want to go to a castle I’ve never heard of either, nor do I particularly want to negotiate my way through the tourist throng. The Zoo is the next best …

Absinthe
A night on the town ensures we’re not up before 2pm. This is mainly down to the effects of Absinthe. The last time I drank the green dragon, I had just finished performing in Bard in the Botanics, an outdoor Shakespeare festival in Glasgow. We had all gone back to a fellow actors flat, then after …

Tourists
“Why are you going to Prague?” Asks our hitchhike host yesterday. “It’s full of tourists.” He wasn’t wrong. We’ve woken early to take in the city for the first time and wander through it’s beautiful streets. I’m sporting my camera, but literally have no opportunity to take a unique shot without it being raped by the …

Prague!
Once again the intrepid adventurer sets out on the road in the second leg of the hitchhike tour. This time I have the added bonus of an attractive girl with me, which I’ve heard is a real plus for getting picked up on the road side. Although I do remember a time when a car …

Military history
I’ve always been a WW2 affection-ado. I might have mentioned this. I used to make little models. I had toy soldiers. I played war games. With myself. I didn’t have any friends. This is probably very understandable for a guy who sits and measures out the blast radius of a frag grenade on green baize. …

Techno nonsense
The day drifts away as you would expect from a lazy weekend, but we’ve been convinced to go to an Electronica festival by a strange German girl who has arrived in our midst. She seems to be jumping from a French Canadian guy to a Dutchman, both of whom are staying in our dorm room. …

Colditz
Some would say my plan to hitchhike to India hasn’t got off to a very good start, since I’ve managed to get all of two hours down the road to Dresden. However there is method in my madness. After doing a little research I discovered to my utter delight that we are not too far from …
