Trains

Todaz I went to the train station with Irena and Karel to buz a ticket to Kracow. Unlike in Hungary, where the people at the train station spoke bad English and were unhelpful, the man I dealt with at the Prague station was helpful and spoke great English. I managed to book far more than a ticket to Kracow, but also managed to book the train all the way to Minsk, and make a reservation on the night train from Warsaw to Minsk. The tickets only cost 70 euros together. In comparison, the ticket from Budapest to Ceske Budejovice cost 70 euros, and is more than 600 Km shorter a distance. Train travel is dirt cheap in Eastern Europe, and a rail pass would have been a waste. However, in Western Europe, I would think it would be a wise purchase.
