Misled

Am finally back in London and it will be a coupla hours more before I hit the road to the airport and then back to sg. Kinda miss sg and I know I prolly missed out on quite a coupla outings especially Sel's farewell and all. Vina called and asked if i wanted to go and I was like.. babe.. i'm in london.. hmmm...

Anyways, the last coupla days have been a blast and I can't wait for the pics to be out!

We got lost quite a coupla of times in both Prague and Amsterdam. Ma bad.. ma bad.. keke.. but all turned out good coz it was quite an experience doing things unplanned and basically just bushwacking ur way through. To cut the long story short...

Prague:
- Remembered wrong tram number
- Took wrong tram in wrong direction
- Took it in right direction
- Fined 400kc for not buying ticket
- Ended up at ulu, communist looking part of city
- Use hand signs and all sorts of wierd shit to ask for directions and tickets
- Ticket booth was outta service
- Walked to train station, bought tix, took same wrong tram back to where we started
- Had dinner and took right tram back to hostel
- Realised the damn blardy number was suppose to be '26' NOT '22'

Amsterdam:
- Got on the right platform but wrong train, apparently we were too early and I didn't expect there to be another train. Geez..
- Realised train left 30 min before std and started to freak out
- Train conductor confirmed that it went to ferry terminal
- Sat in train till we saw more cows and realised, this can't be it
- Alighted in the middle of nowhere and realised we were on our way to brussels (??!~)
- Took train back to Rotterdam to catch right train to Huek van Holland
- Missed scheduled ferry at 4pm
- Caught next earliest ferry... freight... left at 10pm and 7 hrs
- Had nice comfy cabins, dinner and breakfast provided
- Arrived 12 hours later and now safely back in London

Oh.. this has been one helluva trip and I'm ready to go home...
