Milos showed us how to take the subway to the train and we navigated it inexpensively (31 Czech crowns each including a luggage charge instead of a 600 Czech crown cab plus tip) and easily, if you ignore carrying bags up and down stairs where there were no escalators. So we've cancelled out the chocolate now in terms of both its cost and calories! (To be truthful we haven't yet opened the box but it is a long train ride.)

Now we are trying to figure out where our train is and how to get on, what class we are in, where to put our bags, etc. We wanted to make a last washroom stop but one complaint about Europe is having to pay for the public washrooms and needing exact change. We will hold out until on the train. Unlike last week when we were too late for our plane, today we are much too early for our train. But it did give us a chance to but more bandage strips for "the finger" which is healing really nicely.

The forecast for Berlin today is another high of 37. Should be another adventure. Berlin is a lot bigger than Prague and our guide has a car to take us around so in a way it should be more comfortable than all day walks in slighter cooler temperatures.
