Day 2

So i arrived in Frankfurt yesterday, Rainer ( http://kackvogel.de/ ) picked me up promptly at the airport and we were off for the Czech ! First stop , on the side of the autobahn for shots of Jaeger , followed by some yummy beers ....damn i love europe ! Its amazing that i can sit in a car and safely drink beer and alcohol without being bothered by mister po po !

I have to mention that pre flight i never got the chance to drink with old friend Stu :( apparently there are 2 Air Canada Lounges and we were both in the opposite ones ....we made the best of it and had a few pints over the phone in our separate lounges in the same airport , hopefully we can find a common ground to meet when i get back .

On our 3.5 hour drive into the Czech we decided to stop for a bite to eat at Burger King , then continued to more important stops like the gas station where i bought more beer ! ( TORONTO take note ....start selling alcohol privately ) love the fact that i can grab a beer when i want , not when the gov't tells me to . What a beautiful drive , one really appreciates his surroundings while sitting in a car going 260 km with a beer in hand .
Finally we arrive in Tachov and get to our hotel http://www.hotel-olympic.cz/Ge/ge-index.html. Nice little place with no tv that works and right near the rink ...first practise that night with HC Tachovs B team . Get to the rink which is literally around the corner ! Next thing you know i am playing hockey in the Czech , and not too shabby considering the 10 or so beers i have had since leaving Toronto and the fact i had not slept ....1 hour into this icetime no one had scored on me and i was called Koruva on multiple times HAHAHA.

After our icetime we headed back to our hotel to meet the coaching staff from EHC Waldkraiburg , had a couple beers and decided on when i get my icetime with them . Unfortunately i am going to have to cut this short at the moment as i am being rushed for breakfast . Today we are off to Prague to see a pro game ...oh and stupid me , i brought the wrong A\C adaptor ....so off to hunt me some power !
