Hey there, fellow freedom-seekers and digital nomads! Today, I’m taking you on an incredible budget-friendly adventure from Bad Schandau to Prague. Buckle up for a day filled with stunning views, delicious food, and money-saving travel hacks!
Despite waking up at 6:30 AM with aching legs from our previous day’s hike, we couldn’t resist the allure of Prague. We kicked off the day with a classic German breakfast – warm rolls with butter, cheese, and ham, washed down with coffee. Perfect fuel for our freelancer spirits!
Our journey began with a quick ferry ride to the train station. Pro tip: We saved big bucks by buying tickets to Decin (a Czech border town) first, then purchasing tickets to Prague there. The price difference was mind-blowing!
As we crossed into the Czech Republic, a mysterious fog greeted us, adding to the adventure. But don’t worry, Prague welcomed us with glorious sunshine!
Prague, oh Prague! It’s a city that’ll make your freelancer heart skip a beat. The architecture is breathtaking, though the crowds can be a bit overwhelming. But hey, that’s part of the experience, right?
We grabbed quick bites at charming local spots to maximize our exploration time. Remember, when you’re balancing work and travel, every minute counts!
Time flew by as we soaked in Prague’s beauty, and before we knew it, we were racing to catch our train. We even squeezed in a metro ride – another budget-friendly travel hack!
The journey back was smooth sailing, and we ended our day with a quick meal at home, already excited for tomorrow’s promised adventure.
