Sucked.

Bloody takes 4 hours to get there from Prague. And the trains here are super old! Imagine this, the toilets are not flushable! Theres only a pedal to... well you get the point. Had to change to an even older train at Ceske Budejovice. Sigh.

And when I got here, everything was CLOSED. Castle tower CLOSED; castle gardens CLOSED; monastery CLOSED and even the local Eggenburg brewery... CLOSED! Gah!

And there were hordes of Asian tourists! Chinese, Korean, Japanese wandered around in the busloads.

At least I had some hot chocolate (x2) and honey cake to cheer me up. And a beer at the station, where I had to wait almost an hour.

One bright spot: Sayaka (Nerima, Japan) mistook me for a Jap at the station and we ended up being travel buddies back all the way to Prague. Language barrier was definitely an issue but we got along fine; she loves Czech puppets and The Hives! She was so nice, she bought me a hot coffee without telling me... Arigato gozaimasu!
