Europe » Czech Republic » Prague » Old Town April 12th 1992

I left Berlin and travelled overnight to Prague. Since I graduated from the dirty, smelly inter-railer that I was a couple of years earlier (see ), I had a shower at the station when I arrived, before setting off to do the Prague tourist circuit (am I now a "tourist"? - see ). The shower cost the equivalent of 30p, for which I got a private room with a sink, shower and toilet for as long as I wanted it. An absolute bargain. I headed out refreshed, much like I did following a similar station show experience in Rome during my first go at Inter-railing (see ).

We hung out in the corridor - where I seem to remember were some pretty gross toilets so early in the journey. Anyway we did get to go to bed only to be woken up in the middle of the night with ... read more

Europe » Czech Republic » Prague November 24th 1978

In November 1978 we decided to take a train trip for Thanksgiving weekend to Prague with Milt and Mary, a couple from the base chapel. We took the Friday night train from Frankfurt and crossed the border near Hof. I remember being woken in the middle of the night with the Czech border guards searching under and through the train and having our passports stamped. We arrived in Prague, Czechoslovakia early Saturday morning and took a taxi to our hotel to check in. Then we walked to the Old Town Square to watch the clock strike the hour and all the figures in motion. It was a rainy day, so I had my umbrella tucked under my arm. I accidentally poked a man with the tip and he reacted as if he had been stabbed; before ... read more
