No worries! I bought some směs ořechŭ s brusinkami

[We might have a problem with the local language here in Prague. Czech is not easy. The above means "trail mix".]

The last day in Berlin was write-off. It was just too damn hot to do anything, and I was starting to feel decidely unwell due to the heat and lack of sleep. Griche-Poil agreed. He spent the whole day like this, trying to cool off.


He insisted that I shave all his hair off, but I told him that would make him rather unattractive. He mumbled something about being a polar bear, and this heat was not part of the deal, and he'd never go on a trip with me again...

All day yesterday, I just hopped from whatever air-conditioned place I could find to another in Berlin. That is pretty much limited to Starbucks and a multiplex. The evening and night at my hotel were hellishly hot. Almost no sleep...

Today was the train trip to Prague, with Charles Manson as my travel companion. I spent the whole aftenoon and evening in the air conditioned hotel, recuperating. Tariq is here too, which is very nice. :) Tomorrow: time to visit the city!

Tariq is travelling with Tip-Toe. He and Griche-Poil decided to get acquainted. They hit it off right away.


Tip-Toe was ready to go visit the town immediately, but Griche-Poil was having none of it. He wanted maximum face time with the AC. Tip-Toe climbed on his head and said: "Giddy up, bear!" But Griche-Poil is pretty determined once he makes up his mind... He didn't budge.
