Czech Republic


Hello everyone

Well we didn’t post  last Friday due to our short trip back home – it was fantastic to see so many of you and sorry we didn’t get chance to see everyone. It was a lovely holiday within a holiday and great to catch up, and thanks to all those who put us up at short notice. Our flight from Prague was delayed 8 hours (our refund claim has been submitted) but the flight back was uneventful and it was great to be back in the van.
 

From Prague we headed south to the town of Ceske Budejovice which was lovely – uncrowded but full of interesting buildings around the huge town square. We visited the Motorcycle Museum housed in the former salt house – a collection of old Eastern European bikes and a couple of old BMW, Harley Davidsons and Indian motorcycles at the bargain price of £1.47 to visit.

From there we drove through Cesky Krumlov – a UNESCO listed preserved medieval town - on our way to a campsite 2km away. After a day catching up on chores (!), chilling and sunbathing, we plan to explore the town and castle later today. After a couple of days here, we’re heading south into Austria and Vienna.

 
 
We’re about a third of the way through our year out and having such a great time – we’ve travelled 9,744 miles and visited 11 countries and our map on the van door is filling nicely!

Will post again next week - love to all
