The Slow Train from Krakow to Prague

I got to the station in plenty of time to catch the 6:53am train. It was an old train with no compartments & announcements that were only in Polish/Czech. I wondered why it was a seven hour ride when it didn’t seem that far on the map. Now on the train, I can see why - it stops at a hell of a lot of stations, especially those in Poland. The countryside going by is beautiful. But there are lots of ugly industrial centres along the way also, particularly on the Polish side.
Strangely, as soon as we hit the Czech side, everything seemed to speed up.
