First things first. We were stuck in a train station. Italy had know a month in advance that they would be striking on the night of my comfy night train to Prague and yet no one told us until we asked 5 minutes before it left. Which was also 15 minutes before the ticket desk closed which there was naturally a long line for because there were a lot of angry people. Now, we could have stood all night on a different train that left 5 hours later at 1:30 am from the next station, but we wanted a refund for the part of the ticket that we had bought and didn't want to fight Czech train people for it. So, we caught the train to the next station and Eric slept while I stayed up reading cause it was too bright and noisy (and it was HARRY POTTER!). In the morning, at 5:30 the unhelpful Italian man behind the desk told us that he couldn't help us because we had bought the ticket elsewhere. So I cried and we caught a train back to Venice and returned our ticket and got a new one - a process that wasn't easy since that lady was even less helpful, but we figured it all out. Whatever. Talked to a nice guy on the train to Vienna and then switched trains for Prague. What was supposed to be a night train leaving at 9 pm arriving at 11 am turned into staying up all night arriving at 11 pm that night... I was tired :D
So, I bought Harry on the afternoon it came out since we walked past a store and it was done before we got to Vienna. Good times. It was good, won't go into detail though for those who haven't finished. Then tonight we found a cinema and it played in English with subtitles so we got to watch the new movie. It was also good, plus it's been long enough since I read the book that I can't quite place my finger on a lot of the stuff they omitted which made it better I think.
Prague has been good. We went to the Jewish quarter to day and learned lots of stuff. Although, it was pretty sad so we're going to go look at some art tomorrow.
I should get to bed. Ciao (don't know by in Czech so I won't even try)
