Last three days in the Czech Republic

Saturday, May 24, 2014

   We spent the day getting ready for our departure. We went to Oaza to buy some groceries for the trip and the babi paid for the kids to ride the horses in Oaza one last time. We started packing our suitcases.

   Steve and I got up early and started getting more things ready. I cooked pasta sauce and got the salad ready for lunch. Vlada and Blanka were coming to visit in the afternoon one last time. By the time they got there, we were pretty much packed and could visit without stress. In the evening, we washed the last batch of laundry hoping it would be dry by the morning.

   We gathered up the last few things in the morning and were just waiting for Pepa to come pick us up at 10:30 AM. He arrived early and we had plenty of time to install car seats and put the luggage in the van. We left Kladno at 11 AM while babi waved good bye from her balcony.

   Pepa dropped us off at the parking lot in front of the train station. We said our good byes, thanked him for his help and off we went. We were early and decided to have lunch at Burger King while we waited. Burger King also had free wifi so the boys could play Clash of the Clans while we waited.

   We talked to a young couple from Brooklyn who were sitting next to us in the restaurant. 

   Our train was at the platform about 30 minutes early and we made our way there. We reserved seats but we could not find out car number. We found an open compartment/cabin and settled in. The train conductor told us that the car we reserved was not there today but they did reserve seats for us in another. Since we were already seated, we told him we would stay where we were and he freed up the seats in the other car.
