4. Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin
5. Back to Switzerland

I admit, I've been pretty lax with the Blog since I started leading tours again. It's a combination of being busy, not always having internet connection, and just being plain tired. For those that think my job is just one big vacation, you may be right, but vacation can be tiring. Anyway I'm in Prague right now, and taking a day off the sight seeing because the weather is crap. Because I will come here a lot this summer I have the advantage of deciding which days to wander the city. Unfortunatly for my passengers, they are stuck with whatever lousy weather they are dealt. Had a bit of crisis this morning as a passenger had lost their passport. After a bit of panic it was located at the restaurant we were at last night, so all is well.

Next stop is Berlin where we will be tomorrow night and be going on a pub crawl. Did I mention that the last stop was Muncih where we went to the beer hall? Sounds like all I do is get paid to drink. There is of course more to it than that though. But I am having a good time this summer and was glad to add a new city and a new country to my list. The city is Berlin, I had not been before this job, But am loving the place. There is so much amazing recent history. The new country is one that many I think have not heard of, Lichtenstein. It's very small and I have ony spent about 2 hours total there on four passes through, but non the less, it was country number 49 for me. Even if we only make a pee stop there. I have now peed four times in Vaduz, the capitol.

Next month I take off for a month to go to the stats and will be going again (thrid year) to the Burning Man festival. Should be some good photos from that all though the best ones I won't be able to post here, but say tuned.
