An arduous journey to Prague...

Our journey to Prague or Praha as they call it (my newest pet peeve, why not have the city be called the same thing on the map and in real life...if u dont want it to be called Prague, then call it Praha...makes matters much less confusing)... proved to be much more arduous than expected. No flights from Dublin go to the czech republic so we had first to fly into London...since we made no plans about what we would do when our plan arrived at 10 until our flight left the next day at 1pm, we were forced to kill all 15 hours in the Stansted airport... a task easier said than done. Due to my prior overnite Stansted experience, I knew it would be necessary to pack provisions, such as blankets and drink. I also knew that in order to find the best sleeping places we would need to scout out a place FAST... we found a brilliant nook. The nook provided us solice until about 4am when they kicked us out, we then moved to the arrival section where we remained until our checkin time at 11. It may have been one of the most humiliating experiences of my life, having all the international arrivals peer over the wall and find me sleeping on the ground... Very disheartening.
Our flight from London took off at 1:35, so we arrived in Brno (a city outside of prague) about an hour and a half later. Brno is the smallest airport ive ever seen. Plus no one speaks english so it proved very hard to navigate our way to the train station...somehow though we figured out how to purchase a bus ticket, we then rode the bus for half hour to the train station. Where by the grace of god we found some backpackers who could guide us to our train. We then had to ride a train for 3 hours to get to Prague... Once we arrived in the city we had to take a metro to the proper tram and then a tram to our hostel... All and all we took 7 forms of transportation. It brings up the question was choosing the cheapest possible flights worth it, since we wasted loads of money on alternative transportation, as well as loads of holiday time... im beginning to think that the answer was probably no, but its all hind site now...hahha....
Our hostel was amazing, it looked like a hotel... had a bar, real nice rooms...that were amazingly comfortable...i mean i met someone who actually wrote down all the ingrediants to the bed so that he could recreate it back in canada. It was an amazing choice and well worth the effort to get there....
