Prague? On a Thursday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes. I\u2019m 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ComfortJet, operated by \u010cesk\u00e9 Dr\u00e1hy as \u201cthe Berliner\u201d starts in K\u00f6benhavn via Hamburg and Berlin, to Praha Hbf. It\u2019s all practically brand-new trainset, very comfortable in first class. Despite a delay that DB claimed was \u201cin another country\u201d (actually the stretch from Hamburg to Berlin), the journey was smooth, and the scenery very nice to the east as we travelled south. <\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n\n\n\n

Having never been to Prague I expected hoards of stag do\u2019s and hen parties, and I\u2019ve definitely seen some groups that would qualify. Remains to be seen how we can avoid them, given we\u2019re a group of 40+ yo men, but literally not here for that kind of schizzle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to come, let\u2019s see how the evening pans out, especially since it\u2019s still 33\u00b0 at 17:30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
