My bus for Prague left 30 minutes later than scheduled, around 1pm and we arrived four hours later. After figuring out public transportation and moving into Hostel Marabou for the weekend, I walked into town half a kilometer and met the two kiwis, Tash and Kade, at their hostel, Brix Hostel.
I had originally thought that they were in Poland for a week, but it turns out they had gone to Prague instead. Their hostel has a bar that's open to the public, but it's essentially just hostel guests and their friends (like me) that frequent it. According to Wikitravel, prices for a half liter of beer should be around 20-35 CZK (0.8-1.5 USD !!!) but a beer at the hostel was a pretty steep 40 koruna. It's the places where beer is cheaper than bottled water that concern me at times.
The kiwis had met a group of Brits at the hostel, and they joined us later. There was a girl from Seattle staying at the hostel who joined us as well. It was nice to chat with a fellow Washingtonian and good times were had all around. Around 2 in the morning we were catching a breath of fresh air outside (at least I was -- others were there for a smoke), when it started to rain and lightning could be seen lighting up the sky. Not much later, I took advantage of a slight pause in the rain to dash back to my own hostel before things got any hairier.
