After the last blog we went to Starbucks, obviously that's what you do in Poland...to kill time. Then the train station in Krakow was super confusing not for the Polish writing everywhere but your platform was really two platforms. For example we needed platform 4 but never said or distinguished which side so you have to be on your toes! Got on our train which Randy nicknamed "the Soviet train." We thought we had a sleeper but it was a really crowded 3 bunk x2 small room. The train car honestly look like it was at least from the 70's and NO AIR! We tried to get the others to keep the window open but it was a no go. Both Randy and I had the top bunks so even hotter! I saw 11, midnight, 1, 2, 3, 4, and at least 4:45 before sleeping probably 2 hours. Needless to say when we got to Prague we were exhausted.
Couldn't check in, too early, so set put stuff down and went to see Old Town. Saw an Astronomical clock that keeps all sorts of time, not just our 12/24 hours. Tried to see a church but it was closed so we decided to head back to the hostel for showers and REAL laundry! Washed everything in a washer and some things in the drier! We smell so much better!!!
Then did dinner near the hostel and back for a drink at our pub downstairs. Much less of a party hostel here, nice change from Berlin so people were just hanging out playing games like chess and settlers! Unfortunately, we sat down next to two British girls who were probably single handedly the most obnoxious people we've met so far! They had nothing interesting to say! Just loud and dumb! For example, they had been to Berlin and managed to spend forever at the zoo but didn't manage to see the Berlin wall or Checkpoint Charlie or a million other sites!! %#^*+!
We decided to go to bed early since they were so interesting and since we didn't sleep the night before.
