    Wroclaw to Prague

    October 16, 2019 in Czech Republic ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    For those that missed me - Maurice is back.

    Really comfortable room with breakfast included!! Stayed off the motorways and took the backroads to Prague - a really winter-time looking day with trees losing their leaves (looks like yellow snow) leaving a beautiful carpet of yellow on the forest floor. Staying off highways makes for a great drive, apart from having to slow down quite a bit. Staying on the backroads means lots of little villages and quite slow travel. 90 kph, 70 kph then 50 kph - repeat over and over again (not sure how many speeding tickets I might have ☹️). Got to Prague late afternoon (staying at the same apartments, in the city centre, I did 3 years ago when I toured by motorbike). European city centres are easier to navigate by motorbike, than by car, as you can hop up on the footpath if it all goes wrong - try that in a car and the pedestrians are much less understanding!!! Add in one-way streets, traffic signs you can’t understand, narrow lanes and then throw in trams, well it’s interesting to say the least. We got there finally (still no dents on the 🚙) and I had a lie down!!!!. Had a walk around - tomorrow we’ll explore (but leave the car at home 🤔).Read more
