The Missions

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

I successfully made my way to Hostel Elf. Got a bed for 320Kc, and then got 5% off for having a student card. Woo! After dropping off my pack, I sat down on the common area couches to figure out what I was doing. There were lots of Aussies here, too. Before leaving Ceský Krumlov, an Aussie couple that had already been through Prague gave me a map, detailing a bar where I needed to go if I needed to pick up anything.

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 there. In Amsterdam an Aussie, Claire, had asked me a question about which train to get on, so we grabbed some quick food together in Duisburg before getting on the next train to Berlin together, a four hour ride. She was staying in Berlin, but I had 40 minutes to get the next train to Praha, another five hours away. I decided that I might go directly to Český Krumlov and finish in Prague at the end of the week, because my friend from the Conservatory, Francisco, will be there for a couple days then with some friends, so we could hang out. I arrived in Praha around 21:00 and the next train to Český Krumlov was at 0:23 for two and a half hours to České Budějovice and then another two and a half hour wait til the 5:28 train gets to Krumlov around 6:30. When I arrive it’ll be nearly 24 hours of travelling, and I didn’t sleep the night before to make sure I got to Amsterdam Centraal Station in time to start this whole trip. Oy vey. [read on]
