Struppen to Petrovice

Snuggled up in a little hotel room in Petrovice, Czech Republic, keeping out of the 37’c heat. Although we didn’t make it to Prague (due to the soaring temperatures) we have seen a wonderful side to the Czech Republic, with incredibly friendly and hospitable people, beautiful countryside and delicious food (and beer of course). We rode about 210km or 130mikes but the weather was so stifling it was good to reach our destination early (15.30ish). We met a lovely lady at lunchtime who had lived in Buckinghamshire for a time and had friends in Prague who have travelled all over. The people at the brilliant little restaurant below yes we’re also lovely and helped us keep the bikes secure over night.

Looking forward to reaching Austria tomorrow and maybe doing a bit of exploring. Until then I’m going to sleep well in a slightly cooler room than my tent yesterday!
