I’m sure the first couple of parts of this post will be of *zero* interest to almost all my friends 🙂
A very pleasant trip down from Hamburg on the train. Had a nice (albeit rather slowly served) meal in the dining car:
The 6.5 hours flew by, with some lovely views at points;
The next day I went to Prague Public Transport museum in the morning. This is mainly trams, with a few buses and trolley buses thrown in. There was a short booklet with (abbreviated) English captions for some of the exhibits, but otherwise everything was in Czech. It’s not a huge place (maybe 15-20 vehicles on show), but was a nice enough way to spend a couple of hours.
(I’m not sure what this graph is showing, but it looked pretty)
Scary manekins too
This one was from when Prague was occupied in WW II. Interesting how the destination in German and Czech is in different fonts
After all that excitement I had a bit of a lazy afternoon, wandering round the parks. I headed up the funicular to the viewpoint, and read for a while. I’d been to Prague before, so had done most of the main sites that time.
Then back to the crowds…
After some dinner I decided to take in a concert before I got my sleeper to Poprad. The setting was lovely, but the promised 4 seasons turned out to be somewhat abbreviated, and performed by a quartet.
Then it was time for the train to Slovakia, where I arrived a few hours ago (presumably having passed frictionless border at some point in the night)
Where I met at the station by F & F, ready for some hiking and stuff in Poprad
