Hello Everybody!
I have now booked a trip to Amsterdam during the new years. It has been a while since I have been there the last time. It´s also the third time I will be spending the new years in an other country!
I will be staying at a hostel in the center of town, a place that I have always stayed in every time i´m in Amsterdam, it´s expensive, but worth it!

Home from Prague!

Hello Everybody, I´m back from Prague, after an intense, but awesome weekend!
The trip back started yesterday (sunday). After writing my last post, I switched between chilling and packing, since I was tired and wanted to rest some before my trip back in the evening.
But I gave up on resting, packed the rest of the stuff and checked out at 11am. I was allowed to leave the bag at the hostel, so I could go out for the day.
Not having a real plan on what to see, I walked around the Old town and Wencleas Square. i couldn´t walk really fast or far, since my feet and knees were aching from saturdays walk.
but I did manage to see the Powder House and the surrounding area. i thought of buying some stuff for myself, but decided against it. I did manage to get some very early Christmas presents for my brothers!

I then had some late lunch/very early dinner, and went back to the hostel. I chilled on a couch, and noticed that the hostel had a cat that lives there. At first it was suspicious of me, but after a while it laid next to me and let me pet it quite a lot. I had booked a taxi the day before, which came early. So I grabbed my stuff and we took off.
I arrived at the airport after 6pm and my flight lifted at 9pm. So I checked in my stuff and went through security. I looked at the duty free and spent the last of my czech money.
I waited for the flight, which turned out to be half an hour late, but when it lifted, it went smooth. Arriving at Vienna Airport just before 11pm, and looked for somewhere to sleep. I found a bench that looked like people could sleep on. Which I did. I put on some music and was half asleep until 5am. Then I chilled on the computer and after a while, I went to the gate, as my flight to Stockholm lifted at 6.35 am. The flight went smooth.
Arriving at Arlanda just before 9am. I went to the domestic terminal and went through security pretty quickly, so I could have some breakfast/brunch. I then chilled on the computer until the gate opened. The flight arrived a bit late at Umeå, and my father and brother waited for me.
Since they other appointments elsewhere, we grabbed the bag and they drove me home. the traffic was horrible though!
I unpacked my stuff, and everything I had bought was intact. I did some cleaning as well, since I needed it, even though I thought I cleaned it before I left. I then went next door with a delivery and we chatted for a bit.
Now I need to make some dinner, and we will see where the night leads us! Check out the video down below of my time in Prague!

A day trip to Prachov Rocks!

10/19/2019

Hello everybody! I´m writing this the next day, since I got home quite late and was very tired!
But yesterday I took a trip to Prachov Rocks. The day started early, as I have still trouble getting a full night sleep. I chilled on the computer and double checked the train time, that I was going to use.
I went out at 715, to walk to the train station, it wasn´t the main one, but close. It took about 45min, and when i got there, I bough the tickets and waited a bit. The tickets were a bit more expensive than I though, but still managable.
I tooke the train, which switched at one station, and then had over an hour of train ride to Jicin. When I arrived, I looked into taking a bus to Holin, which is closer to Prachov, but never made any sense of it, so Idecided to walk over there. after a while, I realised it was more than 5k to get there. But I walked it, strange as I am. I arrived att Prachov about 12pm. then I decided to head inside the park.
Prachov park has different paths that you can take with different lengths, i decided to take the short one which was about 1.5km, since I have walked enough already. I went in and having a look. I eventually got to the Rocks, and I did see that there were some mountain climbers climbing on the rocks.
I did get to the Emperors Corridor, which is a stoen stairway that gets more and more narrower when you climb it, and it was the main reason I went there.
So after that I decided to head back. I must say that it took a while, I got in at 12, and got out at 02.30pm. I saw a bus station on the way in, and since I walked a lot, I decided to take the bus. But the bus was more than half an hour away, and as I was tired and inpatient, I decided to walk back. Yeas, you read that right.
I walked over 5km more. an hour walk to the train station in Jicin, and my feet didn´t like it. I had a snack at the station and took the 16.37 train via Nymburk to Prague. I arrived in Prague after 7pm. I took the walk back to the hostel, and bought something for myself and my neighbour, so I don´t have to today.

Shooting trip and exploring!

Hello Everybody! Today has been fun!
I woke up early and was half asleep until 7am. I chilled on the computer before buying some breakfast. I chilled some more until 10am, when a driver picked me up, to go to a shooting range!
We smalltalked on the way, because it was a 45min drive.
When we arrived, the guide were waiting for us, and lead me to the shooting area.
I got the rundown of the event and was lead to the instructor, which gave me a quick safety rundown. Then we got to business. I started with 20 rounds of Glock 17, then 20 rounds with a .357 Magnum. 20 rounds of UZI and Scorpion EVO. Then M16 (which sadly was in 9mm), and then an AK47. After these we went to a different area and shot 10 shots with a Shotgun. After that one, I got the option of shooting somre different weapons. I chose to shoot a Beretta M9, Desert Eagle, PS90 (civilian version of P90), MP40 and a Mosin Nagant.
I then went to another different area, and got to shoot 10 rounds of a SVD, which was fun!
After than, I got a free snack and then went back to Prague. On the way back, me and the driver talked a lot more, about different parts of life.
After getting back, I chilled at the hostel for a bit, and then headed to the Metronome, which is up on a hill, and was quite rough, but worth it. I decided to go back via the train station, to scout where to go tomorrow. On the way abck to the hostel, I had some dinner, and bought some supplies.
I have then chilled at the hostel ever since.
What am I going to do tomorrow you might ask? I´m planning to go to Jicin and go to see Prachov Rocks, which is on my bucket list, and is one of the reasons I´m on this trip. It´s going to be interesting.

Being all over the place!

Hello Everybody! I have been all over the place today!
The day started very early, I woke up at 2am, not intentional at all! I tried to go back to sleep a couple of times, but at 5am i gave up.
i chilled on the bed for a while, until I decided just before 8am to go out. I first walked down to the Petrin Tower, which was on a steep hill. I got winded pretty quickly!
You could go up the tower, but it opened at 10, at I got there at 8.15, so I decided to continue on. The Strahov Monestary wasn´t too far away, so I walked over there. It is beautiful to see in person. I decided to continue to Prague Castle, which is beautiful too! After that I decided to have some brunch, a beef gulasch, which was decent but not filling!
After that I decided to go south, passing through the hostel for a bathroom break. I walked along the river going to the Dancing House, and decided to go to Vysehrad, which is a church with a cemetary. It was decent to see!
After that I decided do go to Wenceslas Square, having a late lunch. I then decided to start and head back to the hostel, since by this time, I have been out for almost 6 hours. On the way I decided to have a Trdelnik, which is a typical Czech pastry.
I got back eventually. I chilled on the comuter for a bit, until I was getting tired, and decided to take a nape. 4 hours later, I woke up. I decided to chill for a bit, and ahve a shower.
Today has been a good day!

Arrived in Prague!

Hello everybody! I have arrived in Prague! The trip over here had some trouble though!
I woke up att 2 am, not intentional, as I couldn´t fall back to sleep. So I stayed awake until my dad showed up and picked me up.
I arrived at the airport and checked in. I got in the plane. Then the pilot said that the plane became damaged when the loaders loaded in the bags. So we had to get out and get rescheduled.
We also had the get our bags and recheck them in. I got rescheduled to fly via Helsinki to Prague, while the original plan was to be via Stockholm and Frankfurt. The upside of this was I arrived earlier than planned.
I then took a taxi to the hostel, which was expensive, the taxi, not the hostel. The hostel is a place I have been in before, way back in 2013!

Good evening everybody!
Today ahs been a chill day, but a bit rainy.
It started with me having a sleep in, as I got home late last night and had a decent sleep!
I went out at about close to 11.
I walked towards Medborgplatsen and forward to Old Town. I then headed to Kungsträdgården and chilled for a bit, it slowly started raining at this point! So I decided to head back, and walked passed the Royal Palace.
I had some lunch, and went back to the hostel and had a nap. I have chilled ever since, I will leave quite early tomorrow, so I will get to the airport in a decent time!

Hello everybody! I´m in Stockholm at the moment, having already Seen John Mayer. I arrived Yesterday during the middle of the day!
Yesterday I got off Work and took a taxi to the airport at 08.30, the flight lifted on time, and managed to get some sleep on the flight.
My bag was kinda late, but I eventually got it, and took the bus into the city. I walked through the old town to the hostel, checked in and took a nap. After that I had some dinner, and chilled for a bit. I then walked down to The Globe, to see John Mayer.
The show started around 8pm, and the show was amazing! Most of the songs I have seen live before, but it also had some old stuff I haven´t heard live before, which was awesome!
