Hello Ceske


On Saturday we arrived in Ceske Krumlov around 1ish, finding a great place to stay for the night, Pension Teddy (B&B), he had a room plus a garage for us to keep the bikes as we explored the city.

Wow...what a great city it was, and great food. Most of the city is build into the rocks, definitely amazing. The people we found were not as adaptable but hey,there is a language barrier. We found this amazing little shop with some traditional trdenik pastries (see pic)....yummy.
Lindsay mentioned we should head back tomorrow for some more, mmmmm.


The city was filled with tourists so we didn’t feel out at all. The river running through the city is an adventure itself. Loads of boats and canoes for hire, and everyone travelling down the river really loving it. Truly a relaxing town. We ended the evening eating goulash for dinner and cranberry and cheese starter really great, very yummy.
Today we had an early start with breakfast served by Teddy at 8am, and what a different breakfast, rolls and sausages, like having hot dogs for breakfast with some great coffee.

We then took a last stroll into the city for Lindsay’s cinnamon trdenik ...yummy...before getting back on the road again to meet a friend in Austria.


We arrived in Linz, great little town, the ride in from Ceske Krumlov .......INCREDIBLE. How amazing, so far one of the best rides I’ve had. We met our friend in the town centre of Linz, which, when he arrived, he mentioned to us that he had just come off his bike on his way to meet us. All because of the GPS and poor road design (he did mention something about lack of concentration)....oh dear, thank goodness all is ok with him....just some nasty bruises to follow...the bike is fine too....just some scratches. We headed to a coffee shop had a great chat, then rode off to set up camp. We later met up with our friend in town to watch an orchestra being broadcast onto big screens just next to the river Danube...it was great

  4. Bergamo is worth a stop if you get a chance. It's not too far from Milan and just down the road from Lake Como.
