The Joy of Trains



This post is to be filed under 'other places'. We are in the Czech Republic where my husband's family came from over a hundred years ago.


Here is Prague railway station in all it's art nouveau glory


where we are to set out on a small adventure.



These are the old ticket windows - the new station is below ground level and very modern Euro-chic.


The original lobby with Austro-Hungarian shields. 


Then the trains with links to all parts of Europe - so freighted with history.


Leaving the city behind


and the old snack bar, we arrive at Kutna Hora


where we discover a magical city 


that reminds me a little of a Tuscan hill town and I'll write more about tomorrow.
