Raj: It's nice to be relaxing again, this time based in the small rural village of Tiefenpolz, 20km outside Bamberg, Germany. Yesterday morning we left Prague with the plan to stop in Plzen and do the tour of Pilsner Urquell Brewery. Disappointingly heavy traffic leaving Prague and over 30 mins to find a car park in Plzen meant I missed the tour by just 15 mins (other late arriving tourists were also disappointed). The best we could do was walk around the sho...

Vikki: Today we headed about an hour out of Prague to the medieval village of Kutna Hora, famous for its silver mines and many churches. The cobbled streets are amazing with lots of different shaped and sized cobbles, some in very intricate patterns. It was a fairly relaxing day for us, just wandering around, popping into the odd shop and generally having a gander. It's been raining on and off for the past couple of days and its pretty cool, down to about 18 deg...

Vikki: Ahoy is the local greeting here in Prague, which is a bit of a crack up to me. It's not like we are near the sea although there is the big river Vltava running through the centre of the city. It's a beautiful city, with many old buildings, churches, cobbled streets and statues every which way you turn. Always something interesting or unique to see. We've spent the last 2 days hitting the main tourist spots in the city including Prague Palace (where we saw...

Vikki: We've had the last 3 nights in a camp ground just east of Linz in Austria. Called Au an der Danou and beside the Donau (Danube) River, its full of people (especially families) camping and biking. The area is kitted out for bikers, bike lanes alongside the river, many places to stop along the way and lots of easy bike trails. It's amazing to see families with young kids, all on their own bikes, pull up at the end of the day with small packs and tents on th...

Vikki: We have had a fabulous couple of days in Bled, it has certainly made up for the crap before and now we are once again all relaxed and full of smiles. First off a big thanks to Liz from work, as it was her saying, "you have to go to Lake Bled" which saw us adding it to the itinerary for which we are eternally grateful. Lake Bled is beautiful, a small quaint village, by a large lake surrounded by mountains. Its's picturesque and there is loads to do. Highli...
