Train Travel to Kosice

This was our first experience with the Slovakian trains. Our first train ride was a 1 hour stretch from Bohumin to Hermania (or something like that). We were in a compartment with a Russian soldier named Demitri who talked to us the whole time in Russian and seemed to get very frustrated that we could not learn Russian well enough to respond to him. I suspect he meant well but he made us all a bit nervous. Pictured above we are on the sleeper train to Kosice, SK. We found it to be comfortable and it felt safe to us. Our porter happened to speak English which made things easier for us.

I really like the sleeper trains as a way to travel while we are on vacation. You are in one place. You go to bed (which you need to do anyway) and you wake up somewhere new. You do not have to waste your day traveling.


This bicycle/ski shop was actually in the train station in Kosice. Posted by Picasa
