Internet duffers in Prague

Well, that's a great way to spend 30 minutes.  Trying to work out how to see your blog in English.

The story so far:  Met up in London and boarded a coach with a bunch of strangers and drove to Dover where we boarded a ferry.  The weather at this point was cold and as it has turned out has stayed that way until Prague.  We camped our first night in Belgium and were given our various duties which at this stage meant Julia being in charge of the valuables in the on-board safe and me on taking the luggage off when we stop to camp and back on again when we leave.  I think she got the best deal.  We have been making early starts being on the road by 0800hrs having washed, dressed eaten breakfast, packed away tents and loaded the truck! I can tell you are impressed.
Our first proper stop was Koln.  We pitched camp and then walked in.  That took just over an hour brisk walking and we then wandered around the city doing the usual tourist things before meeting up with our group at a restaurant.  We had typical German food and beer before walking around like lost sheep trying to work out the tram system to get back.
From Koln we drove to Bamberg in the old East of Germany.  A typical German Medieval City.  Some of us decided to take a bus tour of the city which was fine however, the guide spoke at length in German and the English consisted of 'there is a Church over there'.
The following day we drove all day to Prague, stopping briefly for lunch at a service station where we rummaged around for change to use the loo.  Our campsite is two tram rides from the city so much map reading and pointing has taken place.  We have now completed our 4 hour walking tour and am feeling a bit weary.  I don,t know how long we can sit in this internet cafe before being asked to leave.
Meeting up with the group at a restaurant in the city at 7pm, yes, it is hell eating your way across Europe..

We will attempt to update in a few days.  The so called internet access at the campsites has not worked so far.
