The old town is absolutely lovely – cobble stone streets that are easy to get lost in, and medieval buildings everywhere you look.</p> <p>The tour was a mainly walking tour, although it also included a short boat ride up and down the river – giving a different perspective of the city.</p> /posts/2008/2008-06-24-dresden-to-prague-by-train-the-experience/ Tue, 24 Jun 2008 05:41:10 +1000 /posts/2008/2008-06-24-dresden-to-prague-by-train-the-experience/ <p>We laid awake this morning at about 4.50 am listening to the pouring rain, and claps of thunder didn&rsquo;t put a positive spin on the day to come. After drifting back to sleep, we eventually go up and began to get ready for the day at about 6am - we had an early train to catch to Prague, at least the rain had stopped.</p> <p>We got ourselves to the train station with plenty of time to spare for our 9am departure. As is our general experience with German public transport, the train pulled in exactly on time. We boarded and headed for our seats - we were in a 6 seater booth with only two other passengers.</p>
