While You were Sleeping

I’m writing this on my way back to Berlin…..last night after I posted the rain came down on my skylight  window….thunder and lightning went on for about an hour. This morning it was dry and but very warm and humid again.

I had breakfast and checked out of the hotel by 9 so I could wander up to the train station, looking for a couple of caches along the way. My train left at 10:30 and I was there before 10 waiting for them to post the platform we were leaving from.

I wish I had stayed in Prague another day….but when I first booked this I was a little worried by all the warnings from the travel books about pick pockets and scams……I kept my things close and the only incident that I was suspicious about was when I was looking for a cache and a fellow thought I was wanting to go to the bank to change money (which was closed) and said that the bank was bad and gave bad deals….the “Rick Steves” warning about money changing scams clicked in and I walked away.

But Prague is a very beautiful city….I have never seen anything like this before…..the old buildings, the winding maze of streets….the large decorative churches…..very beautiful.

So now I am on my way back to Berlin….where I will freshen up and get ready for the next adventure.

By the way I forgot to wish everyone Happy First Day of Summer (or Winter if you are reading this from the southern part of the world)
