Europe trip 2013 - Prague to Frankfurt

After checking out, we went to new town for a short walk/shopping and quick meal before taking the train at 1538hrs.

KFC for lunch again, lack of Czech Cash.  Even if you are a customer of KFC, you still need to pay for their toilet, like 50 cents euro or 1 euros.

As we know that, the train in Europe is very on time, we reach the station 30min to 45 minutes before deparature.

Waited and waited but no sign of information and gate no. Tried to look for information counter, but none.
We decided to run to the platform that also say BUS, and then tried to ask someone. We were really lucky, this helpful man in spec saw our ticket, and say follow him. He ran towards the entrance of 2nd level, and pointed towards the bus.

We ran for the bus and board the bus 1 min before departure. Put our luggage went up the 2nd class, and the bus departed.

Lesson Learnt : Even when you purchase a rail ticket, when it say is bus, is literally a bus not the company. We are grateful we make it, adventure that make holiday fun.

Onboard Menu - Mr Pink decided to order a coffee for himself !

Goodbye Prague, I wish i have stay here longer and enjoyed this lovely place.

To start with, we only had like 12 minute for a train transfer. For so many time, the train is almost on time, and we thought we surely able to make it to the train. However, due to the traffic Delay, we arrived at Numberg at the time when it was suppose to depart. We grabbed our luggage and run to the platform, hopping the train will be late. Since the board ?display something like ?delay for 5 min ( it was all in Germans). We ran to the platform, but saw nothing there, and we had miss our transfer train.

After the running, i feel so sick. While queuing at the information counter, I feel like vomiting. And i did, vomit some liquid. I guess long time never exercise. They told us the next train towards Frankfurt, and then we went to another counter to make sure we had our reservation seats again. I don't want us to stand for 2 hours plus.


After which, I tried to call Saida to inform her we will be late so that she wont need to rush home. My phone dont allow me to make the call , so i tried using a payphone, and somehow i still cannot get the line connected. Ask help from police, they say is expensive to make a call back to Frankfurt. So I shamelessly went back to the information counter, and pray they helped me, and they did, I told them i needed to make a call to Frankurt and pray Saida pick up her phone. I was so happy that I manage to get her and told her I will be late due the delay.


 I didn't have any appetite to eat anything for dinner due to the vomitng. After the seeing the vending machine at the platform, , dear dear bought me an ice cream to eat.


It was not your normal ice cream. It was an Movepick ice cream cone!

                                             Our prepared snack from Prague, onboard the train.
                                  I needed something sweet and tried the chocolate milk.

So happy, we finally reach Frankfurt, but it was late at night, like 2320hrs. We bought a ticket to Saida house, 3 stops from Franfurt Hbf. The we realise the exit look the same, even the building look the same. I did panic again, and try to recall her block.Then started to look for her name label at the  unit. We actually misses it ! At last, we found it, we were so happy ! Rush up the unit !

It was a chaotic day! We had to repack our stuffs, and our stuffs filled half of Saida's hall. Had a surprise news from Saida, She told us Natelie is going to bring us out tomorrow morning at 0800hrs. Oh God, just when we needed a rest... Oh glad that we were safe and sound and friends who are willing to host us around.
