The late night caused me to almost miss my train from Prague and just when I thought things were fine and dandy, I hear that DB (the German national railway company) workers are on strike. When we got to the border of Germany and the Czech Republic everyone had to get off at this little town and take a bus to a station in Germany to catch connecting trains.
