Day 170!!!

Hiya's..

Saturday 18th Aug

Here we are...looking for accomodation in Berlin..but i thought i'd pop into the blog and tell you the Black Light Theatre last night was brilliant!!!!

It was called Foust written by the famous Goethe and was typical Czech theatre apparently. There were marienettes and the theatre was old and had so much atmosphere. The whole play was silent..so we all, in our different languages, could understand it.

The theme was good vs evil..which seems pretty standard for this type of theatre. It was brilliant..we loved it. It looked so real too watching the actors being carried around on stage by the black cranes....

This must be where Black Light Theatre orignated i'd say. This theatre was built in the 14th century and plays have been put on there since!!!!!

So funny...to think Australia is only 200 years old..(well just over, seeing it was first settled by whites in 1788 and our bicentennial was in 1988!) and here we are in a place that is over 1000 years old! Prague was established in 880! In the NINTH CENTURY! And Australia was founded in the EIGHTEENTH CENTURY! 900 years later!!!!!!

Amazing hey..

Australia is SO YOUNG!!

And the more we're away..the more i realise we have such little history!!!!

Even though our young Australian history is SO fascinating...:-)

Okies, we're off to Prague Castle..to see what a castle from 889 looks like...the mind boggles at the age of some of these buildings........................
