Whew. I am writing this blog post from a train heading back to Bonn from Prague. The past three days have really tested my abilities to be flexible with transportation plans. On the train from Vienna to Prague, we were delayed an hour and a half due to an accident on the tracks. Fortunately, I had great company in my compartment and spent the time getting to know a group of 4 Germans and 1 Ukrainian. Due to the delay, I went to sleep immediately after arriving at the hostel. The next night, however, Jenna, Caitlin, and I went on a guided ghost tour that more closely resembled a medical history tour. We got to see the first hospital in central Europe to use anesthesia during surgery. Also, we were able to hear a few of the local legends centering around the plague in Prague.
Unfortunately, the trip wrapped up with the notification Sunday morning that our flight back to Cologne was cancelled. We were able to book train tickets back to Cologne and hurry to the train station with time to spare. We have 3 minutes to make our next connecting train, so the next adventure is a sprint through the Schwandorf train station.
