Enjoyable read so far.
Thanks for reading. I’m not sure if they would have told me off but I really didn’t fancy risking it.
So after a fun sports day, where my team came 3rd of 8, and way too late a night, I’ve been working from my client’s office today. I’m now on the train bound for Kosice. However, I’m not flying from there but getting the night train to Prague and then on to Berlin before there. And before
Fabo.sk
says anything, yes I am aware that the night train to Prague stops in Zilina. 🤣 My colleagues were all highly confused as to why I’m going all the way to Kosice just to come back.
The reason is that the night train costs the same from Kosice as from Zilina but only leaves Zilina at 01:42 and arrives in Prague at 07:53 so I’d have had much less sleep time. This way, I can hopefully be long asleep by the time I even get to Zilina and I won’t have had to hang around until nearly 2am. I also don’t fancy being in Zilina station at that time in the morning on a Sunday.
Enough preamble, on with the latest pics before I get back to my project:
My room at the mountain hotel where the sports day took place. The bed was way more comfortable than Hotel Boss!
Bathroom
Shower
Sheep on the farm that the hotel is part of
And horses
ZSSK also like to announce the platforms very late, the same as many airports. This results in a huge bottleneck and a rush to the platform. 😒
Here comes my train.
Coach 1 again.
Newer first class product on this train. Still not the newest one but much better than the one on Thursday

Next stop: Kosice in 2 3/4 hours time.
