Plzen to Aalen

l

Pretty sure Rainer came in at 6 am , just look at the picture above taken roughly 7 hours after he went to sleep LOL ! I woke up at around 830 and knocked on Timo's door which was next to us , he was awake and we headed downstairs to try the hotel breakfast that came with our room . THERE WAS BACON :) yup it was a proper breakfast set out with bacon,eggs, sausage toast , etc... i would recommend staying at Hotel Plzen if you ever end up in Plzen . The service there was great too and very accomodating for us all . There were a couple guys in the breakfast area that out late with Rainer , somehow i think Rainer partied harder then all of them hahaha.

When i went upstairs i wanted to write my blog and chill but people kept knocking on the door trying to wake up Rainer ... his friends from Aalen ( Shishko , his father and Reinhart ) all came by and finally we got him out of bed and over to the rink after we checked out . The whole time i am thinking there is no way we are getting all of our gear into the car going to Aalen.... when we get to the rink there were some more chipper people like Melanie as she was one of the smart ones that went to bed relatively early . Pretty sure we were back in hotel by about 1 AM . I got my own dressing room with FUK written on my dressing room door and got changed gathered my shit and headed out to the rink for my last skate in Plzen .

I took a bunch of pics as we were going on and told people to take pictures of me when i was on .... Rainer was the only one to use the camera and honestly i don't think he know how to use one LOL all the pics are fuzzy and small and to make things worse i tried to get a good pic of the whole group after and the zamboni driver took 2 pics which i will post the better one below :( yes i know we all look so small . i guess hockey and photography don't mix well .

After the game we are supposed to get 5 big guys with 2 goalie bags and 3 players bags with all of our sticks and backpacks (Rainer brought way too much shit !!!!!) and drive from Plzen to Aalen,Germany ??? As you can see the back of the car was already jammed before we put the rest of this stuff in !!!! We went up to the restaurant at the rink and ate and tried to figure how the hell we are getting to Aalen ... thank God Melanie had not left as she had room for 1 person to fit in her car to go to Nuremberg . So Rainer will go with her and take a train back to Aalen . I will somehow squeeze into that car that is jam packed and get a ride straight to Aalen .... Only problem for me is that nobody speaks English ... so i just went to sleep for the whole ride with Rainers stinky wet bag on me . OUCH did i ever cramp ... it was a really painful trip but i gotta thank the guys for squeezing me in and dealing with my snoring LOL .

We had a bite to eat at their place , Reinhart jumped into his car and went off to Ulm ( 1 hour drive ) and we went to get Rainer at the train station . Then got dropped off at his place , we went out for a kebab walked by Coban's Irish Pub and didn't see anyone in there so we called it a night ......it is now time to chill :)
