From Praha to Hředle

Josef told me he wasn’t quite sure what bus to take back to his village, but we figured it out eventually. We caught a bus to a main bus terminal and figured out what bus to take to Rakovník. We had almost an hour to kill so we had a beer and waited.

The bus ride to Rakovník was about an hour long. There a lot of small villages interspaced with fields of barley and hops. I could tell that I was in a beer-making country. New Zealand was a place with 4 million people and 40 million sheep, Czech Republic is a place with 10 million people that make 100 million liters of beer, on a good day.

We arrived in Hředle at around 6pm after being picked up in Rakovnik by some friends. We bought some chicken and funny long bread rolls that remind me of oversized cigars. After that, I forced myself to stay awake until at least 9pm, even thought I felt like I was dead on my feet!

Showered, slept.
