Train Again - Thank Goodness No Story

Caught the overnight train from Krakow to Prague and it was completely uneventful - which I am truly relieved about! While at the hostel in Krakow, several people in different instances turned up and had been gased and robbed on the overnight trains between Prague and Krakow. I vaguelly recall the Lonely Planet mentioning it was a rare instance but had 3 different cases of it in the last couple of weeks. Could have caught the day train but they don't turn up until 21:00 at night and last thing I need is to get lost in a city at night.

Thus this time I was super careful, more so than normal (lots of little tricks but won't get into details just yet while still travelling). The biggest thing for me would be having my iPod stolen, which is a favourite target for theives. Mainly cause at the moment I have taken 8,000+ photos while in Europe and storing them on my iPod. Thus while in Krakow, I went to some trouble to back up about 60% of the photos onto 3 DVDs.

So now in Prague, found the hostel pretty easily and on the way caught a glimpse of some wonderful architecture. I've never heard anyone say a bad word about Prague so it should be interesting.
