Prague? On a Thursday?

Yes. I’m here to meet up with some friends of mine from the UK who are on a motorbiking tour to Czechia and back. Of course they have spent most of the day on the road whereas I spent about four hours on a train from Berlin.

The ComfortJet, operated by České Dráhy as “the Berliner” starts in Köbenhavn via Hamburg and Berlin, to Praha Hbf. It’s all practically brand-new trainset, very comfortable in first class. Despite a delay that DB claimed was “in another country” (actually the stretch from Hamburg to Berlin), the journey was smooth, and the scenery very nice to the east as we travelled south.

Having never been to Prague I expected hoards of stag do’s and hen parties, and I’ve definitely seen some groups that would qualify. Remains to be seen how we can avoid them, given we’re a group of 40+ yo men, but literally not here for that kind of schizzle.

More to come, let’s see how the evening pans out, especially since it’s still 33° at 17:30.
