Prague

Ceske Krumlov







Once again on the road early as we wanted to explore the south CZ lakes areas. The roads were dressed in canopies of leaves nestled in valleys and winter ski areas. The lakes were disappointing small, the water muddy looking and crowded with campers but very picturesque. After a couple of stops we headed on towards Ceske Krumlov the UNESCO heritage town. Arriving still in the relative cool on the morning was the thing to do as the town wasn’t crowded, exploring and meandering around the medieval town was lovely. The town is surrounded by water with the focus the church on the rise. Treading over century old cobbles, down winding alleyways and under grapevines just put us in a time warp. As we left the crowds were arriving and the temperature climbing. As Mike had been very unwell we decided to head to Prague and do the TLC. Driving into Prague was a lot easier this time as even a little familiarity helps. We found the boys and accommodation without hassles and now a couple of days later and some cooked meals they are all looking better and feeling more onto it. Helena and George who own the apartments have grandchildren in Cromwell so their English is great and the boys were initially meet on there first stay here with a’ what’s up” to their ‘hey’ from a 9 year old visiting his grandparents which took them back.
Les and I headed into Prague city to walk Charles Bridge and enjoy the city. Julia from Germany turned up and she is staying until Friday and giving a hand with video and timing. She is going to Prague castle today with us before we have to be back for the training session. The intensity for the World Champs is staring to well and truly build and the course and facilities are looking tremendous.
