First Picture in Praha, the train station

Listening to Czech Improv...will bring some back.

Vienna and the Train trip.

Deb was up and as perky as she can be. we have breakfast then off to see the town for one last time prior to boarding our train for Praha(Prague).
We walked down the "City Center", a business district. Then through the Museum complex whic, i believe, is called "the Ring". Lastly, we entered the Natural History Museum just to see in they had different natural history than us. Not so much! It seems they have all the same information. The presentation is a little different but then i haven't been in the Chicago Natural History in a long time. We did see the "Largest Meteorite" display in the world and i had a picture of me taken as though i were a Neanderthal! A bit of computer trickery to be sure.
We return to West hauptBahnHof(the main train station) in plenty of time. We had a short discussion about taking one of the scenic street cars but thought better of it. Good choice this!
We picked up of bags from storage, we stored them at the hotel, and  went to our train station. Deb, always alert for disaster, checked our tickets not the last but the twentieth time and, lo and behold, the train was leaving the Weidler BahnHof and not the West HauptBahnhof. We were in the wrong station! A quick question of the "info" desk and off to line 6 and 4 stops. That is what he told me. I forgot to ask which direction. Once in the tube, asked an office and he pointed ot the proper track side and off we went.Upon arrival at the "fourth" stop we walked righ tin to the station without incident. Waited an hour for our train. Watched a train bound for Warsaw stop on our track at the appoitned time we were to catch our train and 5 minutes later our train arrived. All was well!
Then.....
We found our first class seats, a small upgrade fee large comfort pay back, and settled in. The conductor, ticket taker, whatever they are called here, asked for our tickets. Now, our last train person asked for our tickets and said we didn't have a validated Eurail pass. But after review of the documents let it pass and we had our berth(read prior posts). Not so this gent. He looks at the reservation for our seats and the accompanying Eurail pass, without a stamp, and says "Not valid, No stamp!". Of course, we discussed with him how we were told it was alright and how we had traveled already without virtue of stamp(i never said "Virtue of stamp") but he was stalwart in his conviction and we paid 63 euros for the  train ride to the Czech border, Breclav. He did tell us the train would stop for 15 minutes and i could get my voucher stamped so the remaining portion of the trip would be covered by our prepaid ticket. At one i thought i could do it but after much thought decided to pay the extra fare to Praha rather then risk missing the train while getting a "stamp".
The new crew got on at Breclav and upon presenting him with our "unstamped" credentials we rode free to Praha. go figure!
