Bye Bye Berlin

On our way again...so we left rainy Berlin on Thursday morning heading to Czech Republic. The journey was not too bad....besides the mad drivers, the weather was getting better. Nothing much happened on the road, however we reached our destination which was a camp site just north of Prague, called Triocamp......mozi’s galore. We figured the mozi’s were around because of hundreds of fruit trees. There were also loads of Harley Davidson riders from Netherlands camping but they had chalets...nice!!!!
We had a good dinner...chips and bread...woo hooo.
Camp food here we come...we had a great rest except some weird guy at 5am shouting and singing....I suppose he had a great night.

Friday morning, an early start, earlier then all the other mornings, we’ve been really lazy and taking it easy....early mornings are a no no for me at the moment.
So we got up at 8am...did our bits, had breakfast.....still trying to train Lindsay in getting me coffee first thing....... Sorry Lindsay first one up has to make the coffee :0).

Leaving Triocamp we headed towards Prague which ended up an interesting ride through the city, it first started off as a nightmare all the cobbled roads and loads of tram lines on the street. It just made it a little bit harder to ride on but I suppose it’s a start to our African adventure.
We then continued on towards Ceske Budjavice, where they produce all the Budvar for us lucky folk., stopping off in Kutna Hora to visit a church, well not your typical church but the Church of bones, which was very weird but kind of interesting, however the trip there was great, I haven’t seen so many fruit trees along the side of the road before all bursting with apples, pears, plums and much more. There were times that I just felt like stopping and grabbing a few, but we are so overloaded as it is, we can’t afford to.
So we eventually arrived at our next camp site, autocamp Motel Dlouha Louka. It was pretty empty but looked ok. So we set up camp before sunset, Lindsay again being attached by mozi’s. Poor Lindsay’s bald head, bitten all over. When we finally got to rest for the evening, the two guys next door staying in a van, decided to have a party until the wee hours of the morning, one of them eventually getting sick close to our tent...nice!!!!
Then something woke Lindsay up suddenly at 5h30am, noticing a shadow passing over the tent. Unzipping the inner tent, he noticed that someone had unzipped the outside part of our tent. We quickly checked to see if anything was taken but fortunately for us everything was accounted for.
It made me very nervous knowing there were thieves around, so we decided to head off elsewhere in the morning. We managed then too doze off again, waking up at 9am to a great shower in the morning, and by the time I was finished, Lindsay had made some great bacon and eggs for breakfast, ready to move on to Ceske Krumlov.
