12th April, a carpooling ride took me from Leipzig to Prague. I met up with Bedrich, whom I knew from Dunedin. He is Czech, and I went to stay in his lovely apartment that he had recently brought, with a rooftop garden.

13th April, Bedrich and I went to the Masters exhibition opening of another friend from Dunedin, Aroha Novak, as she was studying there in Prague. The next day we went to the fairgrounds. I really enjoyed going on a Ferris wheel for the first time in my life. The next day I met with Aroha and her daughter Eva, we went up a tower that you can see a view of the city.

I also met with another Eva another day, and yet another friend from Dunedin days. An old flatmate and she is Czech.

I was actually feeling quite tired when I visited Prague, and wandered around the city. It is very busy. So found the touristic spots quite overwhelming at the time. But it was lovely of course, lots to look at, the enamouring architecture, and the clocks, and a kind of old world magic still ticking in the town. I really liked the tea houses, and Bedrich took me to one. 

I missed the arranged lift back later that day, I was waiting, but must have been in the wrong place for the car pooling driver. So contacted Bedrich and went back to stay another night there. I was happy as that meant I could go to see the exhibition the next morning. The Human Body Exhibition at Výstavištĕ. Real human body parts and interiors on display, it was fascinating to say the least.

On April 16th, found another lift on the carpooling going to Dresden instead, so stayed with friends there. And the next day a very good deal, a 3 Euros car pooling lift safely took me back home to Leipzig.
