Bratislava then Vienna???

It has been rainy day in Prague. Which is actually a really bad thing becuase the river is really high and close to flooding. I was had dinner with my friend Treaver last night and he told me stories about what happened last time it flooded here; it was really sad. The Prague Zoo is right next to the river and the waters rose so much that they had to evacuate the animals but one of the elephants refused to leave and so there are all these terrible pictures of him being totally engulfed by water so that only the very tip of his trunk stuk out of the water; what an awful image. then Treaver preceeded to tell me the story of Gaston the seal who some how got free and entered the river and swam over a couple hundered kilometers until he was practically in Germany. I thought this was going to be a happy story to make up for the sad elephant one but it not turns out the seal died of pollution from the Vlatava river. So there you go some happy stories cutisy of my buddy Treaver.
So Anyway Leah and i were definitely lost in the rain for hours trying to find this bus station that was rumored to be really cheap when we did of course no one spoke English but it was really Cheap so we decided to book a bus to Slovakia and the Austria tomarrow. It should be a good time. It was pretty hilarious booking the ticket, we were gesturing and drawing and pointing forever and in the end we weren't really sure whrere we had decided on -turns out Blatislava is the capital of Slovakia which is right near the Autrain border from Vienna. I've always wanted to go there and have heard really good things about it so while it's no getting high in Amsterdam it'll do. Mar, have you been to Vienna? I feel like you have, any tips? When I was non-communicating with the guy who booked our tickets, I think he said that if we book our tickets three weeks in advance they are half off, so I will try to look into doing that. I'm thinking an open train ticket from Prague to Budepest and then down to Croatia might be done for less the forty bucks, that way we could stop off where ever we want. It would be really great to take a ferry to some of the islands for a couple days. I'll czech it out when I get back. Have a think on it in the interim and let me know.
So I have one more silly story before I should get going yesterday I was in the steam room with these too other very naked Czech women, when they started naming off their body parts first in Czech than in English I think they could tell I spoke English so they started looking to me for the correct pronounciation, then the other women starts explining the game she played called Simon says. She demonstrates this by pointing various naked parts of her body and saying Simon says. That was definitely afirst naked Simon say in the Steam room. On that note I should get going. I'll be gone for the rest of the week, but I'll be in touch when I get back. Thanks for sharing your stories.
