Day 6: Last Night in Tachov

Got those Monday blues, well try being an early bird that is waking up in a deserted hotel in a quiet small town ....finally waking up without a hangover , sore from weekend hockey and alcohol abuse i decide to go for a small walk around the hotel to get some air ( smoke cigarettes ) , speaking of which i am running out of my Canadian DuMaurier smokes and i have to start considering a Czech brand to buy as cigarettes are more expensive in the rest of Europe. I might just have to ask Peter if he can grab smokes at Prague airport on way to Finland .

Monday actually turned out to be a nice day with some interesting things happening , nothing crazy but i wasn't in a suicidal boredom. We met up with Peter and began to have some fun little jokes ( The Italian that went to Malta joke is popular amongst us , i wanna fock on the bed LOL!) At the arena i get myself some HC Tachov mementos and Peter tells us he must take care of his parents house for the remainder of the week and can't go out that evening , all things considered i will take a few days off the wobbly pops .

Kackvogel calls us all kackvogel too , but in different languages so Peter is Kafka and i am Shithawk. This in mind we decide to design our own silly tshirts for our trip ....go to the local tshirt printer and let our minds go wild ,they are going to be great ! After that we go off to Peters parents place , they live in a proper Czech village ( farmland ) ....Monty is Peters dog and he seems happy to be going here , as Peters parents have a dog that i think he has a crush on hahahaha. Peters parents live basically on a field where they raise horses , and they are totally majestic creatures. They have 2 horses ,1 Shetland pony and 1 super huge monster horse ...i am no expert on horses but it was cool to see , i mean my trip can't be all hockey all day come on ! It is a short stay and we are off back to the rink...

Like i said today was a quiet day and we really did not do much, basically the other highlights of this day were buying a comb, q-tips and oh yeah a bus full of Polish people showed up at the hotel so it was not just the 2 of us in this lonely hotel ( lonely when no one is around , awesome when full ) . Travelling with Rainer means i have to sit down to some of his buisness meetings which is not bad since most times there is a free meal involved. Around dinner time we decide to have a meal in the hotel restaurant , and it is a real shame that they don't have menu in English or in any other language other than Czech , so i order a pasta with white sauce ....well it shows up and it looks great but it has tons of cheese in it ( i have a slight lactose intolerance) obviously i decline as we are on the ice this evening with some local buisness men . Yeah i will eat after hockey....

Rainer came to play hockey this night and wants to play against me but of course language barrier between Czech and German is evident and he ends up on my team ....these guys were pretty organized and to my surprise were much better that Tachovs B team ! They are calling me Martin Brodeur when entering and i guess someone told them i am good. Kinda bothers me because this means every hotshot out there will be gunning for me . Apparently the other goalie was too as he is usually shit from what i hear and he played a pretty good game , the squads always seem uneven to me when i play out here so tonight was nothing special ...yeah we had 2 of the better skaters on the ice but we also had the 2 weakest and 2 fattest players which basically i can blame for 2 of the 3 goals i let in during our 1.5 hour game ....did i mention these guys even brought a ref ! It was a close game in the first half hour as that is when they scored all 3 goals on me , we went on to win 6-3 and then we have to move our equipment to a room to dry our gear out proper , and go eat . Yeah eating after 10 in Tachov means going to the gas station and eating crappy cold sandwiches that need microwaving without a microwave to use ....pissed off at the world at this point i grab one and scarf it down , tasted like shit ! time for bed , tomorrow we head off to Plzen then Prague .

Peace on you too you sonnama bitch i go back to a Italy , arrivaderci !
