After a long, stressful day, I didn't make it to Berlin. Funny, how I thought it would be so easy! A few weeks ago we booked a bus ticket. My friend and I Googled the subways in Berlin and marked all the stops we wanted. We found how to get to our hotel from the bus station and everything. Unfortunately, we didn't even make it out of Olomouc.
When we booked our tickets, the woman told us to take tram 4 to TESCCO (it's similar to Target). It turns out the Bus station is on the complete opposite end of the tram route. After this mishap, we still had some time, so we took the tram the opposite direction. We arrived at the Bus station at exactly 19:20. There was no bus to be found. We waited about 15 minutes, when another bus showed up. This was not our bus, but they were able to confirm that our bus had already passed through.
We then ran to the train station to try and get a train to Prague, then to Dresden and on to Berlin. We wrote in Czech what we wanted. The lady looked at our paper and told us there were no more trains to Prague tonight. This was a lie - because we could see them on the board. She didn't speak much English and she wasn't worth arguing with. After all this, we went home and looked up the price of train tickets online. It turns out the price of train tickets would be more than the spending money we had allotted for our trip. We decided not to go.
Today I drowned my sorrows in some McDonald's and an entire season of The Office.
Next weekend I am going to Prague with Johannes. The weekend after that our group is touring Southern Bohemia via the river. We're renting inner tubes and floating down the river. I have the last week free. I might try to do Berlin again that weekend, but I had really wanted to go somewhere else. Any suggestions?
