Train troubles

Our continued journey to Budapest started out Ok and we got to Hamburg then Berlin with little trouble. Our next train was going to take us from Berlin to Prague where we would get on a sleepertrain to Budapest. At around 10 minutes to seven we rolled in to Dresden station, schedualed to leave 20 minutes later but after a short while we got a message that we were stuck in Dresden for 60 min due to border problems with the Czech republic. During this time Yini and I decided to have some dinner but as it turned out they could only serve cold food, which was OK but rather boring.

60 minutes increased to 70 and our window for stocking up on breakfast in Prague shrank to half an hour. As we rolled through the beautiful German landscape in to the Czech republic we slowed down rather a lot and I was getting more and more nervous as we got closer to Prague much too slowly. When we got off we had just a few minutes to find our train and ran like crazy, big bags on our backs. We managed to find our train and as soon as we go on we cheered happily. We shared our compartment with a bunch of British guys and had pretty good night.

We got to Budapest finally after some 24 hours on the train and despite our troubles we were happy.
