Czech Republic: Prague - Kutna Hora

27 Feb 2017

There is no reserved seat for this Alex train. I initially thought his train still not bad but was asked to moved to another carriage..... The train will be detached later and the fromt carriage will proceed to Prague and the back ones will proceed to another location. The front portion is much older and just hope will arrive the destination earlier. 

6 hours journey to Prague, finally arrived at 1841hr.
Took Uber to Hostel.

Prague weather is about the same as in Munich, approx 4-6 degree.


SOPHIA'S HOSTEL (33eur for 3 nights)
Initially booked for a mixed dorm but I rejected the condition. They opened up this section and allow me to stay in this 2 bed dorm. This is level 1 and kitchen is also lcoated in level 1. Only one level to ground floor. Ideal!

Although location is not central but only 1 stop away from Museum station.
Super value for money. Tesco supermarket is just 6-7mins walk away.
This is room 1A, it is separated into 2 room. One with 5 bed and the other with 2 bed.
The bathroom is shared by 7 person. But I am the only one staying the entire period. The staff thought I would mind if I just stay alone but I am more than happy to have that.
Since I am the only one staying this section, I use the heater bar, washed my clothes every night. So happy staying here!



The left luggage room got locker too! This is the first time I saw it in hostel.
After check-in, walked to Tesco and brought some mineral water and back to hostel and rest early.

Cooked bratswurst for dinner. Had bought 3 more packet and wanted to bring it to JJ and GG but left in the fridge and forget to bring it back to Poland :(

Day 2 in Prague (28 Feb 2017)

Their system is not as advance as other countries. the train platform will only update last few mins. So everyone will stand around here and wait for the screen to update the platform number.
