Detour, wait did we miss a sign?

So Berlin is famous for its night life.
With little or no reservation we jump on the pub crawl the hostel was offering.

free beer

bar one drinks 3 euro and a free shot

jager in an alleyway

bar two: gross beer 1.50 euro plus a conversation with an Australian army soldier on vacation around Europe offering us a FREE ride to Prague...priceless......

10 am on the side of the road Brett(the Australian) shows up....phew i am relieved...i was pumped to get on the road again...

We throw Jerry Seinfeld in the Cd player and recap the prior evening. 1.5 hours later we hit the border crossing. Josh promptly asks that they stamp our passports and with in minutes we are off....thank god the Czech are so nice....but they seem to be laughing....no matter we are off...

about 5 minutes later i ask josh, just to confirm i hear right that the exchange rate was indeed 20 Czech to one us dollar, he confirms my inquiry. ok.....hmm something is off but i don't worry i guess gas just must be 30 cents to the liter here....and wait don't those signs look strange?

no matter we are guys and guys know where they are at all times...i mean as an organization we are the most successful at acquiring women so why wouldn't we also be amazing at getting from point a to point b

ok....we haven't seen a sign for praha for nearly and hour....

with a quick look to brett and josh......lets whip out the map.....OH Sh*t were in Poland!!!

ok no matter carry on......the signs were all there..our passports said PL not CZ the guards were laughing at us...the exchange was different we were int he middle of no where and we had convinced ourselves that we were fine...thanks Seinfeld....

lunch in the most beautiful part of Poland and 200km later we hit the Czech border...4 stamps in one day three countries and 600 km....we are on an adventure and there is no telling where we will be next.....

P.S. Prague is the most amazing city we have seen yet......

Ahoy, happy wanderers! I think I should send you a GPS and a map of the world so you could keep track of what country you are in?? we enjoy your "blogs" and know you will enjoy Prague. The buildings there are amazing, so are the crowds of tourist on the St. Charles bridge, not to mention the castle on the hill and the cathedrals. Street musicians are pretty cool also. Store looks great with new paint and signs. New parking lot goes in Monday. Take care. BIG DOG!

Josh-Hello again. I was just telling Annette this morning that you had called everyone but me. Then the phone rang, and it was you!! We know you will have a great time with Massimo. He's a well known clothing designer and has friends everywhere. In Venice it is possible to take a high speed catamaran to Slovania where you can hook up with Cvetka's sister in law. If you get to Croatia I can put you in touch with a guy named "Miracle" that lives in Split. He checked us in and out on the sailboat we chartered last year. He's a very sharp fellow and would be a good person to know in Croatia. Say hi to Massimo.............
