Hilarity100

You may have noticed that almost without exception, all of our videos are somehow car-based. In case you were wondering, this is because I'm a lazy, lazy man and cannot be bothered carrying a video camera about. And so it just lives in the car. If you want documentation of hilarity occurring away from the vehicle, you'll need to check out Si's photos.

Anyhow, today's video answers the question of how we manage to find valuable 'computer time' while still participating in a full and rewarding trip around Europe experience.

Hot chocolate at Pellacchia Caffé, Rome.

I freely admit that I came to Europe with a shortlist of things to hunt down and try wherever they may be. We've already started documenting the many varieties of bier, øl, and pivo that Europe's many, many breweries, brauhauses and pivovars offer and today I'm adding another.

Proper hot chocolate.

With a contented sigh I've left Praha/Prague behind and am now back with Matt in Germany. The skies in Prague were mostly overcast, but the few times the sun shone, the whole place glowed.

I've got a few photos to post from my meanderings around Prague over the last days, but I feel the need to get some dinner so I'll leave you with this view from the tourist-mecca Charles Bridge just after dusk.

A few photos that didn't make it into the earlier post...

I'm a bit of an architecture nerd, so naturally I made a minor detour across Prague to check out Frank Gehry's Fred and Ginger building (otherwise known as the Dancing House or even less-excitingly, the Nationale-Nederlanden building).

Photos don't really do it justice.

As I'm leaving Simon to meander around Prague by himself while I'm nipping over to Munich to meet-up with a friend, I have to navigate the whole way by myself. While driving.

This is not good.

So I've written myself a notebook full of directions, mud-maps and the occasional bit of positive reinforcement so I know I'm doing a good job. Hopefully I've covered every possible scenario between me leaving Prague now and arriving in Munich by lunchtime today. Wish me luck!

UPDATE: I made it!

The tourist-mecca Charles Bridge in Prague.

Team C are currently happily lost in the crowds of tourists in Prague. After a couple of nights in a vaguely creepy hostel (it was manned by the same guy, 24 hours a day, all three days we were there) we've moved to another that has a groovy Italian cafe next door with great coffee.

Matt's already been to Prague and is heading off to Munchen tomorrow morning to hang out there while I continue to soak in Prague's coolness, and take many, many, many photos of said coolness. (Did I mention the coolness?)

We'll be meeting up in a few days, but as of Monday morning Matt will be the temporarily solo face of Team C (for Car) and I guess I'll be the all-new Team D.

I'm open to suggestions for what the D stands for... leave a comment and let me know.
