After a night of train travel that scared the living daylight out of me I was relieved to have arrived at the train station in Prague. I didn’t care that it was 7 in the morning and that nothing was open to get breakfast or that when I arrived at my hostel I was going to have to wait 3 hours to check in.

A Day in Warsaw
It’s rather easy to sum up the night bus to Warsaw… freaking horrible. Starting with passengers slipping the bus driver a few litas to get a ride and skip the standard rate (I was so jealous I couldn’t do that). This lead onto the frequent stops so the driver could have a smoke and generally ensure we froze to death the entire way. In hindsight sitting near the front of […]
