12.54 We found a travel agency that could help us. It took some time to get to the counter. While we were waiting something beeped now and again, it could be that something blocked the photocell that notices if someone steps inside. They told us about hotel Kosmos and here we are. They want another price other than the one the lady in the agency spoke about. We passed the Becherovka factory on the way here and saw a HUGE bottle of Becherovka.

15.15 Sitting and looking at a ”indoor geyser”. The water from one of the towns springs shoots ten to twelve metres up in the air. We have before this strolled and took some pictures. We found another huge bottle outside the tourist information.

21.30 We just had dinner. For Christer, goulash with knedely for me soup of meat. After that a fatigue hunt for beverage took place. Wherever we walked it was closed. Finally we found a place about to close and we managed to buy some water.

Tuesday 15yh of July "Healing day?"

08.41 I am packing. Today we´ll travel on to Plzen. After the packing we will have breakfast at the hotel.

16.23 Something has happened since the last report. We had some breakfast and walked/dragged ourselves to the station. After a train trip with a fast change in Cheb we reached Plzen. The tourist info arranged for a room at Zahrodni. We stay in room 16:2 for 294 koruna for two nights. The trip here cost us 85 koruna. I bought some Imodium for our guts and nutrition solution, meant for kids, to get back some energy. Now we will gather strength, energy and power.

20.44 Feel a bit better and hope we are recovering. I see if I can carry on munching on stuff or what ever I do. Anyhow some sleep will be just perfect.

Wednesday 16th of July "Where has all the energy gone?"

10.00 Awake for an hour. Having some yoghurt right now. Today will be an easy one. In an hour we might slowly stroll into town.

14.38 It is a warm day and we are walking into the centre of the town for some food, photos, maybe postcards and who knows what?

Plzen

17.00 I am back home to gather strength. In town I had some beverages, an apple and a sausage. Christer is still in town. A scary fact that I am wasted happened at the Square. I looked for a place to sit and Christer found a place. I looked over the counter to order and found out that I couldn't order cause there was no place to sit. As my telephone, that was lying inside the small backpack started to ring Christer did try to pick it up. He had problems finding it and I mentioned I must have forgot that it was left in the room, as I said this, the phone kept ringing.

21.00 The day is about to end.

Thursday 17th of July "The long trip home"

08.20 Woke up and ready to pack for the last time. Today is the big travel day. To Prague, to airport, to the Swedish airport Arlanda , to Umea and finally home. Going home to attend my youngest brother’s wedding. I got plans and tickets to return to Prague on Sunday, but will I manage this?

15.27 Travelled by train for two hours. Zigzagged with the metro through Prague, found the tourist info at the station and they got us a room. The room cost us 375 koruna per person per night. We now reached Budeè where we also stayed in year 2000. Here we will stay, well we and we. Christer will stay here cause I will be flying home soon. I will be walking to the Metro in about twenty minutes.

17.20 Checked-in at the airport and the backpack is sent away. The gate will open in an hour. Now I will try to have a ham sandwich.

18.15 I am sitting by gate B 15. Soon, when the plane gets here, I, the others and hopefully my backpack will get onboard.

18.40 The plane is late. Not too much I hope. I got 80 minutes between calculated landing at Arlanda and my departure from the same airport. Now it seems OK to get into the plane.

SWEDEN

21.45 The following has happened since we finally landed. The bus to the arrival hall wasn't fast. It was smooth all the way from getting the backpack to customs, thanks! A hectic run to the hall for domestic flights. Checked in, well not the backpack as that was considered a special baggage. . Had problems with the special luggage man. He barely managed to get it up, Then couldn't serve me because I have not given him my boarding card. But all went OK. After that, through the security control, it beeped because of the coin in my pocket. I took them out and passed through again without a beep. Beep or no beep he still has to check me thoroughly with a metal detector. I am finally ready to go onboard and take off in fifteen minutes.

22.15 Someone has checked in their luggage but not themselves. The person isn’t onboard, but his/her luggage is. So they have to find it and remove it before we can take off.

22.30 At last we are ready to fly.

23.30 I reached Umeå and next the journey home. We will see if I return.

Friday 18th of July "The end"

09.30 I woke up and had breakfast. I don’t have much power in me. Today I will decide.

21.20 Today I have been to a doctor and he has forbidden me to carry on with the trip. I have cancelled the tickets and just told Christer all about it. Fact is that the trip for me is just like myself....all out,,,
