Yesterday was spent getting to Prague by train. I had reserved some lovely seats with a table to have our train picnic and Cory had purchased some scrumptious looking salads at the station. The first indicator that this wasn't going to be a regular trip was that the train was going to be 35 minutes late.
Finally, waiting on the platform, our train rolls in and there is a mad dash when it didn't stop in the right spot. Rushing about, we couldn't see our carriage # to get on the right car. I asked a staff person and she said "There is no carriage 255, just find any seat."
Once we were on the train, we discovered that a whole car was indeed missing and the reservations were useless. We, and all the other unfortunate souls booked on that car, were unceremoniously stuck in the aisles, standing or sitting on our luggage for the 2-1/2 hour trip. Fantastic.
We were greeted by the private car I had booked thankfully, and the rest of the day went smooth.
July 15, 2014 - Czech Republic
Today we wandered around Old Town, Prague on the east side of the river. Our apartment was steps away from Charles Bridge, a world UNESCO site. Even better than the statues and great views were the performers and people watching. We will be coming back over the bridge early am tomorrow.
Although people we chatted with were enthralled with Prague, I must say we were underwhelmed with this city. We are enjoying what Don refers to as comfort food.
Cory considered the Segway Tour but decided against it in the end.
