Day 4: Prague
This has got to be the most horrible day of my trip. The train left Munich for Prague and embarked on a 9hr journey. Initially, when I booked this overnight train online, I thought that it would be a couchette since I couldn't see one available online. So I presumed it to be one. Horrors of horrors! It wasn't! Imagine sleeping while sitting upright for 9hrs straight. In the end, ang gun seng + ka cheng seng + ka seng = buay sai koon (in hokkien). What a great combo. By the time we reached Prague at around 8.30am, we were more exhausted than an exhaust pipe.
I've only got a vague idea where our hostel is. After an initial enquiry at the Tourist Information, we ended up walking around in circles. A tiring, low morale search, lasted for almost 2hrs when we finally reached our hostel. And guess what? The hostel lost our reservation. *bish*
In the end we were transferred to another hotel nearby for one night but we had to pay 300 czech crowns more. We were driven to the hotel, luckily, and reached our new temporary hotel at 11am. But check-in time was 2am. *faintz*
No choice. After depositing our backpacks at the hotel, we dragged our feet in search for lunch. A Chinese restaurant was our first choice and we paid 700 czech crowns to dine in a restaurant with no air-con. I've not dined in a restaurant where I paid so much to sweat while eating.
Coupled with warm temperatures, we trudged back to the hotel and we were thankfully checked-in. We slept the rest of the afternoon away.
So essentially, it was one wasted day in Prague doing nothing but constantly being frustrated by the numerous obstacles that threatened to ruin our day. Ah well, they ruined my day.
