Possibly the hottest night train possible when we got on it. Also the hottest day of the summer so far (38 degree feels like). Thankfully cooled down a lot through the night with the window open. ButWeiterlesen

Lovely and quiet in our small cabin on the train. And we were early for the next apartment so made use of the lounge in Vienna which we also had access to with our ticket. More free food and drinks!

Got to Prague and went to check in to our apartment. Only to find that one of the windows was missing! The owner had tried to hide it by pulling a blind over it…. Needless to say we said we didn’tWeiterlesen
Arrival (finally!)

Finally got to the hotel we’d then quickly booked online. I think we were shocked by how nice it was. Still in a very central location and definitely a 4* hotel. Had all amenities you could want andWeiterlesen

Much nicer night train with air con. Only disadvantage was the time it was supposed to get in (6:10) meaning an early start. Although it was late. Then had a nightmare finding lockers that took notesWeiterlesen
