We had to catch our overnight train to Prague around noon. Danielle got up early to shop while Shan & I took advantage of sleeping in! We packed and figured out which train we needed...just in the nick of time! I was still exhausted so I slept most of the way to Zurich while D&S ooh'd and ahhh'd about the pretty Swiss countryside. They'd wake me up once in awhile to see a waterfall or a sheep so I got the gist. ;-)
We had about 3 hours in the train station in Zurich. Danielle had read that the best place to get beer was actually in the station! Woot! We had our suitcases with us so we had to maneuver around. They were setting up the place for Christmas. We found the brewery easily and settled in for a flight and food! The manager got a kick out of us and even presented us with the best tasting beer ice cream ever! We snuck out during dinner to leave the train station (it was so cold!!) to say we were actually in Switzerland.
That morning we got up around 8 and had a small breakfast that was provided. We got off the train around 9:30 in Prague! (to be continued...)

| In Zurich |
After the brewery we loaded up on snacks and beer for the long ride and tried to unsuccessfully get wifi and a Heineken.
The train car was nice and cozy!! The beds were down when we boarded so we asked our steward Michael to put them back up. I think everyone else in the train car already went to sleep (it was like 8pm). We popped the beer bottle and watched a few episodes of Sex in the City on my ipad. After we had a rousing game of I Never. We were feeling pretty tipsy by then (and squished) so Danielle decided to do some yoga in the hallway while Shannon climbed the walls. We went to bed - and slept horribly - after that.
