From Prague to Vienna

So the other day, we were catching a train from Frankfurt to Dresden. Now it turns out this is the same train that goes from Frankfurt via Dresden and Prague, to Vienna. So this is the 3rd time we’ve been on this train. Not necessarily the exact same train, but the same route – EC173. And when we got on a Frankfurt way back when, a Canadian backpacker got on at the last second, asking if this was going to Prague, and hoping to be on the right train, so we had a good chat for a while. Imagine my surprise when I went for a little walk just now, to find the same guy sitting further down in one of the other first class carriages. What are the chances?

Damn rain, but good food

For 99% of our trip, including both Ireland and the Isle of Man, we've had pretty stunning weather almost all of the time.

Unfortunately, it has turned on us today and is raining fairly heavily. Kinda puts a dampener on our explorations. We're expecting tomorrow to be clear, but who can tell...

Whiling away the hours...

This afternoon, we arrived in Prague. This followed a roughly 2 hour journey from Dresden, through some of what was possible the most stunning scenery I've seen yet. More about that later.
The hotel (Kafka's place of employment!) had previously emailed us an offer for a dinner cruise for EUR47 per person, and despite breaking our budget somewhat, we figured what the hell, we may as well do this.

More Photos!

Having permanent, free, internet access in our room (Thank you Century Old City, Prague) means we can do some housekeeping, such as uploading a number of photos.

We'll have some more to come, but for now, check here:
