Back in Germany!
Hey everyone... we are going to pause a little more on our picture to tell a little story about my most recent adventure... Stockholm, Sweden.
Well, it all started after spending a few days in Copenhagen, DK... Daniel and I thought that since we were already close we should head into Stockholm in Sweden. We bought tickets and planned to leave the next day.
On our first train we realized that they only gave us tickets for one person on the way from Malmø to Stockholm. Once in Malmø a gracious attendent felt pitty on us and gave us two first class tickets on a later train for free! (We were very happy!) Once on the train a few hours later the conductor would not believe that the tickets were given to us (the language barrier played a big part in this)and made us buy another ticket for 810 SEK.
Once we arrived in Stockholm it was about 10pm (just so you know, everything in Europe closed at 6 or 7). We went to a hostel we scoped out, but it was already closed. We met these really nice french people who let us use their internet... we spent the next hour calling every place we could find, either everything was closed or had no room.
Eventually we gave up on our search as we talked with our new freinds sitting on some random street in Stockholm. Because the day had already been so wonderful, I decided to get sick. So here I am, at about 1am throwing up on the side of some street. Daniel took me to some park were we eventually just slept on the gound.
The next morning (at about 4am lol) we both woke up freezing, so we spend the next few hours sleeping in a train station Burger King and another park until we felt we had enough energy to move.
We found a hotel outside of town, took showers, and slept.
Thats my adventure in Stockholm. The rest of my time there was very pleasant, its a great city to go visit!
Until next time!

Wien (Vienna)
Vienna, a nice city, not nearly as memorable as some of the others. Daniel, Lenart and I stayed in this really nice camp sight and walked around the intercity during the day. There was a lot to see, but nothing that is stuck in my mind (kinda sad hu?) Honestly I thought the best part of Vienna was chilling in parks. I`ll leave you with a few pictures.
Oh yeah - the train rides to and from Vienna were the most beautiful and scenic. Here is a picture I took of a castle in the distance!

Praha (Prague)
Prague - a beautiful city... once you get into the tourist areas. :-) The place Daniel, Lenart and I camped was in the middle of nowhere on an island. Nobody spoke ANY english... I literally had to draw picutres to communicate with the camping staff. But, other than the gruff surface on the outskirts of the city, the rest is beautiful! Plus, its a poor country, which makes everything very cheap for me! I think we paid €5 a night at this place to stay. Below are a few pictures the Prague.
Catching up
Hey everyone! I finally have some time to blog about my trip!
I am back in Germany now! The last 21 days have been nonstop traveling. Because I have over 1,000 pictures I think Ill start posting one city every few days!
