Ohrada!

My habit of leaving things until the last moment carries on with me everywhere from university work to everyday tasks. Packing up for the PhotoSoc summer tour to Prague was no exception, and I ended up with only 3-4 hours of half-arsed sleep. Gladly the journey is going to be a VERY long one and I slept through most of it (where appropriate).

Took the bus to uni in the morning, waited along with others for the coach which took us to Manchester Airport. It's just over 2 hours to there, so I slept through it. We arrived at the airport fairly early, add to that a 1 hour 20 minutes delay and we got ourselves a LOT of free time at the airport. Most of us had something to eat and drink and did some wandering around/sitting and talking/sleeping (delete as appropriate). Gates finally opened at some point and we boarded. Didn't take long before I realised we are in Prague already and I slept through the whole journey.

We met Jeff, who arrived earlier in the day, at the Airport, and then took a bus-metro-bus to the hostel, which needless to say was very tiring and hectic specially considering that we had to carry our luggage around and the temperature was almost (if not more than) 30 degrees.

This is a photo of the (incomplete as I don't have a lens wide enough) group at the bus stop waiting for the last bus taking us to the hostel.

A hectic beginning to what I hope would be an excellent tour. (spoiler alert: it was!)
