Prague adventure - Part I

Big thanks to my colleague who ran to help me check the train schedule which I mistaken for a later time, it was a near missed! I was tired that night, was fast asleep very soon after a quick wash up.

After approximately 8 hours, finally arrived at Prague main train station at around 6am. The train ride was alright, slept through almost the whole journey, the 6 bedded compartment won't help if you were to stay awake as there's barely any space for you to place your head, having to bend your head down while sitting up really doesn't help.

This train cost for the whole round trip to and from Krakow to Prague cost me 399zl which was suppose to be cheaper but because I was having time constrain and had to take an earlier train which de tour through Katowice before arriving at Krakow. I do not recommend the transit ride as it was such a tiring trip, and it is such a waste of time to have just sit in the train for long hours; perhaps I should have gone explore if it is possible to take a bus. Anyway, it is still an experience of my own that I can bring back with some memories.

thank God my bed in at the bottom, other having the trouble to climb up and down the 2nd or 3rd level doesn't look fun at all

arrival at the Prague main station!

The wet weather that morning was not welcoming at all, I was already sighing that why rain today, I have travel so far to come see you Prague! Reluctantly I have to carry on to find my own way to my pre-booked hostel Extol Inn... so now from the Praha main railway station, I need to get on to metro line C to Vltavska, then change to any tram that goes to Delnicka.

*note below blue skies isn't taken when I first arrived, this was snap before I leave Prague the next day. Why did this perfect weather only turn on the day I leave...

a room for myself at Extol Inn - quite a good deal at less than RM100, however I think I would prefer a better location

After checked in, since it was still drizzling, I therefore took my own sweet time to clean up. After shower and change into fresh clothes I continue my lazying in the room until I saw some blue skies started to break open from my window, that's when I started to feel motivated to get up and go out to explore the city!

Now briefly, hostel Extol is located a little far out from the city centre, the distance to the the city is stilll about 15 to 20 minutes away by tram. The reason why I chose Extol was mainly because the rest of the budget place near to city centre are all fully booked and I was attracted to Extol great deal at CZK575 (less than RM100) for a room on my own and it include breakfast! Only if the hostel in closer to the square...
