Reasonable good rip from Cologne, we had to be in the last 2 coaches of the train, as it splits into 3. Our bit was the train to Cheb. Very little information at Cheb as to which train or what platform, we had to go to the main entrance (when we found it) for the information display, then back down to the platforms. At Karlovy Vary it was a 30 minute walk to the hotel. In the dark the walk was not very interesting but after revisiting the following day in the light we changed our minds. We arrived too late for reception at the Hotel Boston and the door was locked, but there were key safes on the door. We finally found the number to ring and got the combination to key safe 1 for the front door and our room. Shower and off to find somewhere to eat. Goethe's Beer House was 2 minutes walk away. Excellent beer and food, definitely recommend. Back to the hotel and good night's sleep.
