Today we wanted to do something different. We bought tickets on one of the local railway lines linking Prague with Rudná. Rudná is about 40km south-east of Prague. This little commuter line consists of one self powered railway car and it putt-putts a roundabout way out of Prague through some very interesting scenery and several villages.

And here is our final destination. This is a very typical country railway station building.

We did not get a chance to explore Rudna as we only had about six minutes before train took off for the return trip. The next train wasn't due for another two and a half hours.

Worthy of a mention: On monday we took another walking tour through the centre of Prague and saw what is probably one of the best looking Synagogues in the world. It is the Jerusalem Synagogue on Jerusalem Street built in 1906.
