Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Once again, I decided to not sleep before returning home. Having to catch a 7:30 train, and not being entirely sure which station to go to (the ticket said the main station, but when I checked the schedule online, it said a different one way in the north of Prague… it ended up being them main station) I just stayed up the night before.

Exploring South Bohemia, Česká Republika

Monday, October 30th, 2006
I seem to have a habit of starting my travels this way... busy. Took the 8:07 train from Amsterdam to Duisberg, a two hour trip, and had about a half hour to wait ... [Continue reading this entry]
