29th July
A very slow start to the day all round, we were all feeling a tad unwell, must have been bad ice last night. Terry headed off north east, while we headed west towards Prague. The weather was cloudy, with light rain, but got better during the day. The border was just a signpost, so we continued on to Mohelnice, where we got a little "A" frame hut in a campground, very basic but dry, and it rained a bit that night. The couple in the hut next to us, Tom and Denisa, asked us to join them for dinner and a drink, worked out a great night.

We continued on to Prague, fortunately staying dry all day. The roads were pretty good, but there was a fair amount of traffic about, just to keep us awake. Lyn found a hotel on line, just near the O2 stadium, and we booked in for 2 nights. Another free walking tour of the city, once again very good. Sandersons run these tours in most capital cities, and they are good value, no set price, you just tip the guide at the end, depending on what you think of his or her performance. Lyn did a separate castle tour that afternoon, but I gave it a miss. We now have a saying, "Just ABC" (another bloody castle/church/cathedral). We have seen so many in europe!
