Well, I've been in the Czech republic for three or four days and seen lots of nothing! The first day I spent around a man-made lake which is in the south Lipno and got my bike out and cycled. It was good to get out of the camper and to do some exercise. However, since then I have visited Cesky Krumlov which was a really lovely place, the old town is built in the meandre of the river, almost a full meadre and there is a magnificent castle on the opposite cliff. Then I went to Tabor, which, according to the Lonely Planet is a must!!!!! Well, if I had had not had the GPS I wouldn't have recognised the place from the description! A large modern town with an old bit, but as I said, had the GPS not told me I had arrived I wouldn't have known. So then on to Prague, which I didn't find as pretty as Budapest and parking is so difficult. There are loads of places but they are 'reservé', which I suppose means for permit holders only! It is the first time since we have had the camper that I had to go to a camp site! Camp sites in Prague are people's back gardens. Well, why not make a little on the side. On arrival I thought that GPS had made some mistake, but no. So now I am on my way to Krakow in Poland going through Kutna Hora, Telc, Austerlitz, but it has another name in Czech, then to Ostrava and Krakow where I am going to visit the camps which were used by the nazi during WW2.
I am wondering what I am doing. The weather is not good, so I have been thinking of giving the Black sea a miss as I would like some sun and might just head for Budapest then Greece. I've just read that I can't drive through Serbia as I need an international driving licence and I don't have one!
Next time I will get my photos and add some photos.
