Moving on

Thankfully the electricity was on this morning so a shower was had. Only downside was that when I was all stripped off and ready to go the water was tepid - and I'm being generous in my description. The shower block itself though was heated and I was committed by then so went ahead. After breakfast we packed up camp and thankfully moved on - we had escaped in one piece!

On the road again to Prague - I have been looking forward to this as I have been before with Pat and we had a wonderful time in this beautiful city. I'm sure Steve will love it. The roads were straightforward yet again - I think we are getting good at map reading and interpreting the directions given to us by Campingcheque. That is the company we bought all the prepaid vouchers from at £10.30 each night. It has proved to be a great saving as most camp sites are double that if you turn up ad hoc. Lots of people are doing just that and paying through the nose. We bought all our vouchers in advance, nearly lost them though when the boys packed them in the container and we had to work on them to retrieve them.

On arrival at the camp site we were very pleased indeed to see that it is a return to civilisation. In fact this is the other extreme. Everything you could want and more is here - very new, very clean and with up to date technology. Wifi is available on the campsite so we are sitting in the caravan writing this blog. It has restored our faith in the country. After setting up we went to the local supermarket and shopped and met a girl who was promoting some food or other and had lived in Oxford for 4 years. So we had a good chat.

Steve wanted to get the car washed but all the east europeans are in the UK so there is no one here to do it. Instead we went back to the caravan and crashed out. We really need to take it a bit easier but there is so much to see and do that we see and do it. A day spent idling seems to us to be a day wasted - but it is catching up on us.

After a lovely meal of chicken salad we have devoted our evening to the computer - hopefully to catch up on Skyping the people who are on Skype and available. We can also do some research on the sites ahead. Tomorrow we hit Prague .....for another Sunday lunch. They do come around quickly.
