Hi tUt,
I did the route Prague - Cesky Tesin - Cieszyn - Krakow last night and today. As u suggested, I purchased online ticket fr Prague to Zilina. That was no prblm. However, things didnt actually go as planned. I get off at Cesky Tesin and by right I should continue fr Cieszyn to Oswiecim via Zebrydowice. But the troubles of finding Cieszyn train station at such an early hour and the frustration bcos no one can speak english, so they gv me wrong directions ended up in I missed the train. I finally found the station which was deserted and looks scary. No one is around and even the ticket counter was closed, I assumed bcos the nx train is at 8 sumthing...so I hv to to use Plan B, and I took the bus fr Cieszyn to Biasko Biela. However another frustration happen when I was confused which bus stop to wait for the bus to Oswiecim, since the bus drivers who passed at the stop told me that I was waiting at the wrong stop. When I get to the so called correct stop, another driver told me that it was a wrong stop. It was snowing heavily and my bag was heavy and I\m tired.... In the end I made up my mind to tk a bus fr BB to Krakow instead. Tmrw I will go to Auschwitz. At least its easier cos there is a direct bus fr Krakow to Auschwitz. Well, we planned...but god decide....

OHHH....yea, sure...
Well....there will be other times then, if u dont keep yr location a secret  ;)

3
again....many thanks tUt....the link is very useful  ;)
Yr last statement...frankly....I nvr knew this before...
May I know where is yr location? You hv been helping me with never ending answers & patience...I must buy you a drink if I got the chance to meet you  :)

tUt...frankly speaking, previously I never use ATMs outside of my country. I normally bring enough cash. But since this time my trip is going to be more than a month and bigger expenses, I decided to withdraw money at ATMs at the respective countries. My ATM card can be used at ATMs which display Visa PLUS logo. If you happen to know, is it easy for me to find ATMs with this logo in Prague, Krakow, Budapest, Sighisoara, Sarajevo & Dubrovnik?

5
I see.....okey...thanks...

6
ohhh....I read in thorntree....the forumers were discussing about RON not accepted out of Romania....however if it is in Hungary, then good for me cos I'll be coming fr Hungary then to Romania, then reenter Hungary again before proceeding to Bosnia :)

7
Thx tUt...
[/quote] You can always change the rest in the neighboring country.
But not for Romania currency right?

8
I see....no wonder when I checked myself, I couldnt get it. I thought I hv mistakenly key in the stations name wutsoever :)
I am now planning on how much money to withdraw at ATMs in every country so that I dont hv too much access currency when I change it back to Euro at local money changers (which normally gv poor rates) when I'm leaving the country. In HUF, normally how much is the fare for Pecs - Sarajevo? Thanks.

9
sorry....i got questions again...(its 10 days to go before I fly out of my country),
- is the time table for mid December out yet? If yes, can u plz check again the time table & fares for the route that I'm going to take for Pecs - Sarajevo on Dec 14...and is it in Euro or in HUF?

10
>Anyway, it is your choice between three options: via C.Tesin/Cieszyn with discounted ticket till Zilina, via Bohumin and waiting for the morning train to Poland there or Praha-Oswiecim by direct Praha-Krakow train (more expensive but not need to make changes, wait or walk). We just tried to present you those options.

Yes, I udstd that...and I thank you very much for helping me with the options and advices  ;)

11
Ohhhh....I felt soooo relieved. Thanks tUt  :-* :-* :-*
>>Is it safe to walk fr Cesky Tesin train station to Cieszyn train station (the 2kms walk) at 5 something in the morning? Is it still very dark or u hv any idea of sunrise on Nov 27?
Also....do trains in Czech, Poland & Bosnia charge bagage seperately?

12
opppsss....
I've made some research. Correct me if I'm wrong.
1. I buy the online Sparnight ticket until Zilina, but stop at Cesky Tesin. Fare is 502Kc.
2. Walk to Cieszyn train station. Buy the Cieszyn - Zebrzydowice ticket. Depart Cieszyn 0626, arrive Zebrzy 0655. Fare?
3. Buy Zebry - Oswiecim ticket. Depart Zebrzy 0659, arv Oswiecim 0812. Fare?
But then, if u see, I only hv 4 minutes at Zebrzy to get down fr the train, purchase ticket and get on the train to Oswiecim. I dont think the time is sufficient. Besides, we cant guarantee that the train will arrive on time. So, how?

13
Sorry for the late reply. I was outstation for 5 days.
I'm confused here. Okey, lets start fr the beginning:
I buy the online Sparnight ticket until Zilina, but stop at Cesky Tesin, then walked to Cieszyn train station. Then, buy a ticket to Oswiecim at where? Cieszyn? I dont udstd yr statement of me boarding the train at Zebrzydowice. Plz explain again and sorry for the trouble....

Thanks so much tUt for yr explanations....
I think I am over worrying the situation. FYI, someone in tripadvisor told me that the frequency of Romanian buses havent change...but the website layout does...The other buses were actually hiidden, until I clicked a link (which was in Romanian...how am I supposed to know this), then only the list of other buses appeared. So, I will stick to my actual plan  taking the bus fr Targu Mures to Sighisoara - Brasov - Sibiu - Arad - Szeged - Pecs. However, its useful also to know about the train options...Who knows I might hv to take train in case bus stop operating due to heavy snow. Someone in thorntree gv me another idea about stooping at Oswiecim to visit Auschwitz. Yr earlier idea is for me to buy the online train ticket  using the https://www.cd.cz/eshop/international/search_int.aspx?tt=2, buy until Zilina, but stop at Cesky Tesin, then walked to Cieszyn and board another train to Krakow via Oswiecim. By doing this, I will arrive Oswiecim in the afternoon, which left me very rushed hour in Auschwitz since it closed at 4pm during winter. The person first advised me to take a bus instead (fr Cieszyn to Oswiecim, but I nd to chg buses), but later he said:
But I think you don't need to take the bus at all - after you revealed that you'll be coming to Č. Těšín on the 0:24 am train from Prague I can give you a better advice. Get off the train in Bohumín (2 stations before Český Těšín) and change for the 6:33 local train to Kraków via Oświęcim (arr. 8:12). Re tickets:
in Prague buy an internal ticket Praha - Zebrzydowice hranica (Zebrzydowice Gr.) and get some Polish currency, so that you can buy a Zebrzydowice - Oświęcim ticket from the conductor after crossing the CZ-PL border (for ~15 zł).
What do u think? Can I save money or its the same amount or more to do the journey fr Prague, until Krakow with changing at the above places?

OMG!!! I need urgent help here....
I checked all my routes again - the one by bus and by train, and was extremely shock to find out that the bus was less frequent on the day of my journey(supposed bcos it was winter time???) which left me only with train options. I have checked the time table and fares for the list below, but am hoping if someone can help me to get a cheaper rate.
6 Dec : I plan to take bus (Orangeways) fr Budapest to Targu Mures (depart 2300, arv 0940 on Dec 7, fare 5200HUF), and continue by minibus fr Targu Mures to Sighisoara (fare 12LEI). Unfortunately, the earliest minibus on Dec7 is at 1430, arv 1535. That is a long and wasted wait. Another alternative is to take the Orangeways bus fr Budapest till Cluj Napoca only (arv 0745 on Dec 7, fare 4900HUF), and continue by train, Cluj - Sighisoara, depart 0950, arv  1334, fare 39LEI (full fare ticket). Is there any way to make this ticket or this trip cheaper?

8 Dec : I'm supposed to board an early morning bus fr Sighisoara to Brasov...at least when I checked the timetable a couple of months back, there are frequent buses plying this route. However, when I checked yesterday, the earliest departure is at 1535, arv Brasov 1815 (fare 20LEI). I have to opt for train, which depart at 0653, arv Brasov 0848, fare 35.9LEI. Any trick to get a cheaper rate for this route?

11 Dec : Is there any very early morning long distance train plying the route from Sibiu to Pecs? Of course I nd to chg train several times, but I dont know how to check for the timetable & fare details. Plz help.
Thanks.
p/s: BTW, at earliest, how long do one need time to see Mostar? Is 4 hrs enough?
