Prague 2

My third day here is coming to an end. I am very impressed by this City. Yes it has all the tourist traps and associated nonsense but it's done with an honesty and as prices are usually very reasonable you never feel ripped off.

Prague 1

The ride from Calais to the Czech Republic

I read on a forum that if the objective was to see Prague the leave the bike at home and get a chest flight! I think I agree. I love riding and love small roads but this trip was quite an ordeal.

The France bit was good to start but the mileage I set myself meant I had to press on and use bigger roads - then the weather closed in.

After a great start in France on Monday things went pear shaped because of the weather - Luxembourg was well Luxembourg but Germany was a real surprise having only ridden the Black Forest a number of times in the past I was not prepared for the drudgery of manic roads, nose to tail lorries, dull scenery which was topped off with torrential rain!

So after a nights sleep I thought all would be well today - wrong Germany emptied it's clouds on me BUT the Czech Republic saw me coming switched off the cloud bursts and rolled out the sun - what a difference in countries - I like the CZECH Rep already!

Got to Prague at about 2.30pm and had a faultless journey through the city to the hotel. Prague so far is living up to my expectations - even the hotel gave me free underground parking because it's a bike! Yay

I didn't take many photos but here are a few - those who know me will know I enjoy World Cusine so I managed a McDonalds in 4 countries! It's for the wifi of course!

Near the Ferry

Today's Motorway ride was better than I expected - since rebuilding the Africa Twin it seems to be repaying me with torque and smoothness. The weather has been good and no mishaps in the way.

Now for a KFC and a film - all on the hotel complex - I choose the best places ha ha!

Czech Republic 2014

Start as you mean to go on I say - ready for the boring Motorway run to Dover for tomorrow's crossing.
