Wow what a day today was.
Upon waking up this morning we found it had snowed and what was green yesterday was completely white this morning :-) Thankfully we had parked Felix in such a way that I could just let him run down the slippery driveway and up the slope towards reception.
Our "Good Morning" greeting of our hosts consisted of the owner complaining that we had given him an expired ID card and that "if he had been here yesterday he would have never accepted it, yada, yada, yada...." Grumpy old fart.
But it's okay. Today is the day we are heading east again and going to visit Prague. Can't wait :-)
Border crossing went well but by now it's snowing, the roads aren't cleared and Felix is slipping and sliding his way up these mountain passes. I don't think Timm took a single breath the entire 20km stretch of road ;-)
There were a few close calls with trucks overtaking us like crazy people and I must admit - there were a few choice words that left my mouth as we got showered in snow and I had to brake as I could't see ANYTHING through the windshield
But as we descended from the mountains, the snow abated and the scenery got really beautiful - Czeck is lovely!
The 200 odd km to Prague took us close to 4 hours to drive and by the time we arrived I was exhausted. Well, no rest for the wicked as it turns out that EVERY SINGLE campsite in Prague and in its 30km surrounds were closed. I kid you not. We phoned, we drove, we rang doorbells. Nothing.
By now it's starting to get dark, Timm and I have both had enough of trying to explain to non-english people what we are trying to do so we cut our losses and travel back into Dresden in Germany - arriving late in the evening....
Only in Europe can you take a fay trip to a country and out thenother side!
So that Ladies & Gentlemen was Prague!
