Prague Day 1 | Travel Blog

Posted: February 27, 2013 by phoenixafterdark in Prague 21.-24.02.2013

After a leisurely breakfast we took off on foot to the main station of Dresden to board our train to Prague. After hunting for seats (successfully) we took in the charm of the train?. ahem?let?s say sociolist chic best describes it :)Train to Prague

Two hours later we arrived in Prague and continued on foot to the closest Tram station. They are really easy to use and look so cute? A short-term ticket costs 24CKR (about 1?) and is valid for 30min on all public transportation.

Tickets can be bought in metro stations and most tobacco shops around the Tram stations. 10min on the train and we found ourselves in the middle of the suburbs of Prague?and it felt like a 30-year time-warp into bygone soviet times?.seriously. It was slightly scary. But after a 2min walk we got to the hotel and already the lobby made up for the surroundings. I had booked the hotel via HRS as a Hot Deal for 21? per night with breakfast?unbeatable pricing.

The hotel itself -?http://www.ostruvek.cz/index.php?lang=ger&menu=kontakt?- was like a shining pearl in the middle of seaweed and murk? Set back from the main road with nicely furnished modern rooms, and the food was AWESOME?and cheap ^^ .

But I digress? after check-in we retreated to our rooms and since it was already around 5pm we decided to meet for an early dinner (ok, looks like we?re grey-haired retired people, but we hadn?t eaten since breakfast) which turned into a 5 hour long food and drink festival? We each had a main course and later in the evening two desserts and enough drinks to last a normal person for days ^^ And all that in the end cost us around 60??for 4 people o.O

And that was pretty much it for the first day?after the restaurant closed we just fell into the comfy beds and were dead to the world?
