At the train station we were seen off by Tomas’ dad, Jan and brother, David. Jan made sure Steve had a traditional goodybe drink at 8 a.m. and we were off. It was over 8 hours to Prague, but we made some friends on the train, so that helped. We did a 3-hour walking tour of Prague’s old town and crashed for the night at the cutest hotel, Miss Sophie’s Downtown — big room, super clean, loved the decor and very close to the train station (& a great price!).
Prague was more touristy than almost any place we’ve been so far. But you can’t beat the old streets, towers, churches, building facades and the Charles Bridge. There’s a reason so many people were there. We definitely want to spend more time here, which we knew going in, but wanted to take this opportunity for a quick stop.
