On our way to Prague
A well deserved sleep saw us getting up at 10:30am and rushing to pack and leave by 11am. It was a fantastically beautiful day, clear blue sky. Shortly after leaving we got a right shock when the roof of the van flew up, Tim had forgotten to close the catches that keep it down! Well it was his job! So we stopped speedily and did them.
The land was very flat and the views were beautiful. Had to queue for over half an hour to get through border control but finally entered the Czech Republic. We then began to encounter the detours, it seems there were road works going on on most of the main roads we wanted and so instead we ended up driving down bumpy rural roads some not much wider than single track. Thus the journey took longer than anticipated and the campsite proved difficult to find — what is it about campsites??
The campsite we were aiming for was closed when we arrived but there was one next door so we went there and chose a lovely spot next to an apple tree. In this area of Prague there are lots of small campsites that have people have set up in their back gardens. It was lovely and quiet, clean loos and a wonderful beer for sale called Gambrinus that cost us approximately 37p each! We had a wonderful dinner of boiled potatoes with butter, ham, leek, bread roll and cold beer, mmmmmmm!
