Au Revoir

Au revoir
Goodbye Paris, and good riddance. 
Just kidding. It was an unbelievable experience but I am glad to be moving on.

We are not scheduled to arrive in Prague until the 24th, with the crazy train scheduling we decided to take what we could get. We were scheduled for two trains and a bus ride to get there. All in 2nd class and with a large reservation fee. All of this in top of the pretty penny we paid for 'easy and unlimited' travel that came with our Eurorail passes. 

Arriving at the train station 20 minutes prior to our departure we found our train on the board with a foreign word next to it... Much to our dismay that word = cancled in French. Wanting to throw myself on the ground and throw a massive temper tantrum, I looked to my left to see Sean with a smirk on his face. This reminded me that I'm in good hands, and I'm a big girl- were only allowed to throw tantrums on our birthdays or during labor.  

Fuled by an over priced cafe & crema we promptly found the ticket office. A very nice young gentleman helped us find a route to Prague today. On only three trains, all first class and with an hour layover in Dresden. Were going to see if it's possible to catch a train from Dresden to Prague tomorrow afternoon and find a hostel this evening. Another city to explore and discover. 

As I type this I'm sitting on a TGV high speed train in a very comfortable chair, sipping on complimentary coffee. The steward just cleared our complimentary breakfast. Were evrn in seats facing each other- so we both have window seats. So far all our travel mishaps have actually turned around in our favor.

As my realistic partner reminded me, were not even a week in... We still have two weeks left! Always the optimist, I think well be fine.

We just crossed into Germany. The country side is glittering with snow. Definantly postcard- worthy. Small towns are sporaticly placed- most of the buildings look fairly new, yet built around an ancient church. Most steeples covered in snow. We just might have a white Christmas afterall! 

Here's to hoping for a hostel avaliable tonight, a train tomorrow and booking an extra night at hotel Rafello.

With Love,
Stoax & Jae-Babe
