(written by Dave) It was a quiet night in our hotel/pub, and equally quiet this morning. Guess not much happens in Sedlcany on a Sunday night. I thought that we might have been the only guests but when we got ready to go, I noticed that our bikes had been moved to make room for … Continue reading Dodging the rain from Sedlčany to Prague (65/18,565ks, 720m)

Back on board – České Budéjovice to Sedlčany (94/18,500ks, 820m)
(written by Nancy) After a good rest yesterday, some yogurt and 7-Up fetched by my private nurse Dave and more sleep last night I felt much better this morning. Not 100%, ready-for-a-big-breakfast kind of better but at least able to eat some of the nice breakfast spread at the hotel. Dave dug in to the … Continue reading Back on board – České Budéjovice to Sedlčany (94/18,500ks, 820m)
Man down in Budweis (150m ride/walk)
(written by Dave) Well, technically not man down but rather woman down. Nancy tried to eat as much pizza as I did for dinner last night and paid the price for her efforts later in the evening. That meant limited sleep and no chance that we were going anywhere this morning. Not a big deal … Continue reading Man down in Budweis (150m ride/walk)
Does “er” mean beer in Czech?
(written by Dave) Greetings from a relaxed day in Budweis. It was a rainy, drizzly morning so we picked a good one not to ride. As this is our first stop in the Czech Republic, we had a few chores to sort out. We got the mobile phone SIM and got some cash. The SIM … Continue reading Does “er” mean beer in Czech?
Over the hill and through the woods – Linz Austria to České Budějovice, Czech Republic (115/18,406ks, 1461m)
(written by Nancy) This will be a short post because it is already after 10pm and we are both completely knackered after today’s ride. The day turned out to be a lot longer than we expected, both in terms of kilometers and time. And we ended up with a lot more climbing than we expected … Continue reading Over the hill and through the woods – Linz Austria to České Budějovice, Czech Republic (115/18,406ks, 1461m)
Another day, another seat – Altmunster to Linz (84/18,291ks, 430m)
(written by Nancy) Wow, nothing like having your tent next to a major road to keep the sleep away… The traffic did die down a bit last night but neither Dave nor I slept particularly well. And it started up again this morning very early, must have been 5am or so. Not one our best … Continue reading Another day, another seat – Altmunster to Linz (84/18,291ks, 430m)
On the Austrian backroads – Salzburg to Altmuster (75/18,207ks, 830m)
(written by Nancy) Once last chance at the buffet breakfast this morning and we took advantage of it, eating as much as possible and making a couple of ham and cheese sandwiches for our lunch on the road. What sneaky people we have become… We were a bit worried about what we would find for … Continue reading On the Austrian backroads – Salzburg to Altmuster (75/18,207ks, 830m)
Salzburg looking good
(written by Dave) The day started rainy and grey. The rain stopped but the grey never really went away. All the same, Salzburg has to be one of the most photogenic cities that we’ve visited. It is one of the best preserved cities in German speaking Europe. Through the years there have been a fair … Continue reading Salzburg looking good
Out of the Austrian Alps – Bischofshofen to Salzburg (52/18,132ks, 250m)
(written by Nancy) The host at our campground yesterday had warned us that we should call dibs on a spot and a picnic table quickly as the park filled up in the afternoon and boy was she right. By 7pm last night the park was packed – we had people right up close to us … Continue reading Out of the Austrian Alps – Bischofshofen to Salzburg (52/18,132ks, 250m)
Flat day on EV7–Bruck to Bischofshofen (50/18,080ks, 360m)
(written by Dave) First a quick report on dinner last night. We managed to find a traditional Austrian restaurant on a deck overlooking the Tauern River. In celebration of beating Grossglockner, we had our first authentic Austrian schnitzel dinner. I’m not sure how healthy it is, but it was quite tasty. But that could have … Continue reading Flat day on EV7–Bruck to Bischofshofen (50/18,080ks, 360m)
