Waiting at the bus station in Dresden a young middle-Eastern looking man appeared from a puff of smoke, approached them and asked if this was the stop for Prague. Then a long pause as he looked at them. Then whether the journey took 2 hours, which they confirmed. He again gave them the 'stare' - a look they were becoming familiar with.
They never got used to this look. Each time they'd wonder if they had a mark on their face, their hair looked funny or if they were being understood at all.
When they got off the bus in Prague, after getting a map and some directions from the tourist info people, they exited the bus station and again bumped into Eric. He simply asked them "so... where do I get my euro currency changed to Korunas?"
Kate actually had the answer to this as she'd just noticed the currency buro on their way out the station.
Oddly, Eric had no luggage at all with him and disappeared as fast as he had appeared never to be seen again.
