Unexpected journeys

An unforeseen change in plans. I had planned to travel from Prague to Krakow in Poland. From there I was going to spend most of a week in Poland. However that will now no longer be the case. I missed my train to Krakow. In a comedy of errors I watched it disappear without me. First I went to the wrong subway stop and found no train station, then I went to the wrong platform and found no train. When I had eventually found someone who could tell me what the problem was, I ran to my platform, up the stairs to see the doors closing as it eased out of the station. This left me in a city with no accommodation and an invalid ticket in my hand.

Finding a seat and a map I worked out that my options were another ticket to Krakow and continue as planned, or change plans completely. The next train was alot later, longer and more expensive than my last one, so I changed my plans. Basically I have cut out Poland. I would have really liked to go there, but will now have to do it another time.

Instead I found a train to Berlin, scrambled using roaming mobile internet to find accommodation on a holiday weekend for them and have penciled in the possibility of Denmark instead. Time will tell how well this plan works. Now I just have to find a use for the 900 Polish Zloty I got before leaving England.
