Life after...

After leaving everyone behind in Norway, each heading off in their own direction, most towards home, I've had a bit of a whirlwind tour of Denmark and Czech Republic.
Traveling with family that wants to see as much of europe as possible in the few short weeks that they have to spare doesnt really lend itself to a relaxing time. Especially when traipsing through large cities, full of history and monuments. Not to mention having just spent 9 months in a small out of the way town in the north of norway amongst the mountains the the fjords.

It was strange to say Goodbye to everyone, one by one they trickled off at different times and by different means, the base got bigger as we became fewer and it started to feel a little surreal. It doesn't really hit you that you're leaving 20 odd people behind, 20 close and amazing friends, maybe to never see them in person again, until, i guess, you're sitting at your gate, alone, waiting to jump on a plane. But even then it doesn't seem all that real. Now it does though.

So, Prague, ill skip copenhagen as I was kind of exhausted and spent alot of the time snoozing or hoping i could snooze soon, lovely city though. But prague, amazing. I dont really know what to say, its great. Old buildings, like older than my country {most of europe seems to be that way though, i should get used to it!} the archetecture is amazing, the food is cheap and good {that's one yay for not being in Norway anymore}, the beer is cheaper than water. Sun was out, soo hot, i think I've lost my tolerance for the heat, Tunisia is going to be a killer, as is melbourne this coming summer. But its nice, I guess it spells the end of my perpetual winter.
Did i mention I've been travelling with my family for the last week? im not sure and too lazy to re-read what I've written... They came to base for the last few days and graduation, it was nice, one good day of weather, the others were horrible, i guess they got lucky though, 1/3 days being good in Engavaagen is pretty decent at times! Well they left a day before me, giving me a chance to pack my stuff finally and say goodbye, and i caught up in copenhagen with them, we parted company again today...
Been in chesky cromlov for the last three days, old medieval town with a nice running river and castle. It's nice, check it out some day...
well... i geuss the Beer from dinner is getting to my head, hence the disjointed blog... nice and lethargic...
and probably full of mistakes {crazy czech keyboards...}
