Tuesday 23^rd August 2016

An early start this morning with breakfast at 7:00am then back to the room to collect luggage check out and head for the Huaptbahnhof  (Munich Central Station) for our trip to Prague. We boarded the train at 8: 30am and it departed exactly on time as scheduled at 9:01am. We have a compartment to ourselves with luggage having to be put up in racks above our seats.

 At 12:15pm the train crossed the boarder from Germany and into Czech Republic and arrived as  scheduled in Prague at 2:43pm.

Disembarked the train and them had to find a taxi to take us to the Hotel. What an experience. We had read that there is only one official taxi operator, but there are many scammers purpoting to be official taxi owners. We had only just walked off the station platform when we were approached by a man asking if we needed taxi. He was obviously not from the official taxi company so we politely said no thank you. Within 5 minutes the same man approached us asking if we needed any money changed. Eventually found the correct taxi rank but as we needed two cabs as there were 4 of us with luggage one driver agreed to take Heather & Mick to the hotel and then return to pick us up. When he got back to pick us up he had a disagreement with another cab driver so we decided to walk the 1klm to the hotel.

After checking in we had a drink followed by dinner in the in the Hotel Bar. Dinner was great, lamb chops (Cutlets) followed by cheese plate and a nice single malt whiskey. Lynne had chicken, a glass of wine and cheese cake.

All in all good days travelling only slightly dampened by the taxi experience.
