Deutschland

The divided city was really quite interesting. We got into to the Airport and were met by Thomas, a friend of mine and were swiftly taken back and shown some german hospitality, ie beer, meat and a lot more beer.

We have been hanging out with Thomas and his family and Danny since then and it really has been staying in "Hotel Mum" we are absolutely spoilt rotten, The food is amazing the beer is amazing and we have had a great insight into east germany and the former GDR.

We also managed to experience german party culture, which is utter maddness. We started the day cleaning up the garden, with beers, watching volleyball which of course you have a couple of beers with, then had a winter barbeque with sausage (wurst) and you guessed it beers.

Then it is off to the party with a $6 entry, it was all you could drink which we made full use of, schenanegans galore, germans party hard.

Then it is on to Czech....

HeyEveryone!
We have made it up to the United States of America. We left Mexico city after a killer New Years and checking out a butterfly park and some awesome Volcanoes.

At the moment we are hanging out in San Francisco, after spending a couple of days in LA, which were absolutely brilliant. The people we met were fantastic, it has flipped our perceptions of americans completely away from the stereotypes, they were all so freindly and helpful.

We ended up meeting a crew of them in the bar, then going back for drinks at there house, sitting around with a 2m boa (snake) wrapped around us for a couple of hours, then introducing circle of death to the americans.

We head to Yosemite national park tomorow, for some snow shoeing and trekking, Some photos will be up soon ( internet access is shocking here at the states, the last place wanted to charge us $60 US an hour)
Take it easy.
