Space Aliens, Terry and buses! oh my!

My last weekend in Czech went a bit wonky.  Saturday was my host's Mike's 36th birthday and it was space alien themed as a surprise for Mike.  Caroline and Rosie and Esther (from Wales) made him a fantastic space man suit out of old boxes and and foil from chocolate bars and used bottle caps for knobs.  All the other workawayers attempted costumes from things lying around and a goodwill clothing bag.  Mike spent all day in the kitchen cooking up a mean curry and other Indian food dishes for the guests.  Around 5pm we all went downstairs and surprised Mike with his birthday suit and our crazy outfits.  It was a blast with great food and a super bon fire in the back yard.  And as things usually go at a party towards the end there was almost a fight... but people maintained and everyone made it to their beds or couches in one piece. 
The next morning I hitched a ride on Terry the RV camper that the Australian workawayers had driven from Scotland. Andrew and Matt were on there way to John's place for some work and a stay before they headed up to France so I navigated them there.  We had a good afternoon and even got in a tour of a ridiculously old church dating back to the 400's?(is that right John?).  I decided to stay the night for another great meal and good company with John and Matt and Andrew and some clean clothes as well-thanks again John for sending me off with with no wrinkles;).  I caught the 6:30 am bus from Bechyne which was packed and I stood crammed in the middle and then proceeded to get completly bus sick and almost lost the contents of my stomach, the worst part was that I couldn't even fight my way off the bus or even towards a door and if I could have and gotten off I am pretty sure the bus would not have waited and would have just left me... By the time I got into Prague and staggered to the train station I was pasty and my hair was all sticking up.  I bought a coffe to try to settle my stomach from a stand called COFFEE JOY...it was an experience...it was such a lovely cup with foam and hot milk and a sprinkle of cinnamen, the girl who made it was so nice and it was such a pleasant moment compared to the recent hours of hell on the bus I almost cried.
I then got on my train which stopped somewhere in Germany for over an hour due to some sort of "defectus".  I made it to Berlin and changed trains to Salzwedel where my new host Ute picked me up at 6:30pm.  Oh my what a day!

On a side note...internet cafes are so hard to come by out in the middle of the country and in FTVs(freakin tiny villages) so I most heartedly apologize for lagging in my blogging. I think of you all all of the time well except when I am sleeping and then most of the time you make appearences in my dreams then too.  Please go to the attached link to check out the photos since getting them uploaded to my blog is not working right now...
love you
