Praha Florenc Bus Station

Our bus got into accident and it was delayed till 2.15am!

After 12am, we will need to wait outside the bus station as the station will be closed till 5.30am. We were all freezing cold, people are walking up and down without knowing when the bus is arriving. Some even went back to take shawl/ jacket.
