Monday

For the girls it was a rest day and the boys paddled at 5pm. This left the day to relax and head into the big shopping centre by Tesco, on the way into Prague. The team who had bought new boats needed to buy weights, we got some essentials and a few new T shirts etc were purchased. Although the Czech crown is stronger against our dollar than last year there are still some things that are quite a good price and besides it will be different to their NZ friends.
After the session another dinner at the Pizzeria and this time the USA team wandered in so they joined our table and the team made some more new friends. There are always funny little incidents.... this time Shaun was MIA and we thought he was having an extra long shower and just chilling , as he does, until we decided to send someone to look for him. He was locked in the room, and once let out joined us for dinner. The boys were being extra diligent and finally locking their room after an earlier incident.... they had gone into a complete spin, even trying to find the German team to ask if they had seen their stuff. Lou and I had hid some of their precious goods. We walked past their room after they had all left for training and seeing their door wide open, the temptation to play some tricks on them, was too great.
Maybe now they might lock up.
