Wandering… (Happy B-Day Dad)

Day: 60 I started my day with a lack of sleep but still gathered enough will to take a walk all over the old town city center and try to see some of the sights. I started in the main square and worked my way out trying to set myself straight in this city. A [...]

Kicked Out of Amsterdam

Day: 59 So hopeful that I would be able to stay for the Holiday weekend in Amsterdam, first thing in the morning (8:30 or so) I went to reception and hoped for a cancellation.  When I got to the desk there were four other Japanese kids that had the same idea as I.  Unfortunately there [...]

Beer…

Day: 58 I had decided to take a tour of the Heiniken brewery today and had convinced (with little effort) Brooks and Hannah to come along.  It was only a few blocks from the hostel and by 11:30 we were learning about the wonderful world of brewing.  About ½ way through the tour we got [...]

Not Following in my Fathers Footsteps

Day: 57 Woke up thinking, “Wow, that was an interesting night”. I really am taking in all Amsterdam has to offer… I went downstairs to the kitchen/bar and started my day with some toast with Nutella on it and a cup of juice. I wasn’t half way though my toast when it started being passed [...]

The Best Laid Plans…

Day: 56 I woke up after 4 hours of sleep and realized I had to make it to the airport to catch my plane to Dortmand (Germany). I shouldered my bag and made my way to the bus station the whole time watching over my shoulder to see if the police were coming for me [...]

Criminals in Czech

Day: 55 Another day spent wandering this magically crowded city, being trampled of wave after wave of tourists trying to get to the bridge or the castle or Kafka’s house, is not my idea of a great time. Yet it is hard to complain when the city is this spectacular and you have no responsibilities [...]

Another Day at Work

Day: 54 I wasn’t quite sure how to spend the day when I woke up this morning. After breakfast I sat down at my computer and started to edit yesterday’s pictures and write my blog entry. I was in a good mood and I was able to accomplish much, so I spent until about 4pm [...]

Sunny Mornings, Rainy Afternoons

Day: 53 I woke up early this morning (around 7am) because the hostel didn’t yet know if they had room for me tonight, and they wouldn’t know until about 10:30. What they did have is a laundry service that takes 3 hours and opened at 7am. I got my clothes to them early, unsure about [...]

Remnants of the White Death

Day: 52 I woke up this morning late, and at first I though any hope of leaving Krakow was gone. It was near eleven by the time I was showered and ready to think (as hard as it was) about what to do with the day. I had missed the free breakfast so I settled [...]

I Swear I’ll Leave Soon

Day: 51 Another wonderful day in Krakow, I am pretty sure everyone out there in blog world is getting tired of more pictures of this spectacular city. On my sixth day here I really didn’t have any huge plans, except see if I could motivate myself to move on tomorrow. The day went according to [...]
