BT xi - Day 12

Day 12
Today was an interesting day (another), low cloud and almost constant drizzle made for wet weather (boil in the bag clothes).
The Czech roads were all in good condition, quiet and fairly straight through open countryside (very like English countryside but without hedge rows and housing except in the villages, which all seemed to have their pond and flats.  All the buildings though are brightly colored which is a pleasure to see.
It was fortunate that the roads were straight because John's brake problems got significantly worse! As a result we decided to abandon any hope of winding roads in favour of a route that required the least braking effort.
Technology came to our aid, not WiFi this time but Wifey.   Yes i resorted to the Haddington back up service and called gill, on the go, and she located a Triumph dealer in Leipzig and texted us the address.  Our GPS did the rest.
The verdict was that, not only were (all 6) John's brake pads down to the metal, some were even half way through that !
An hour and a half later, New pads and fluid and a huge thank you to the dealers and with John's wallet considerably lighter (The couldn't take visa or mastercard) we set off for hotel, which in true Lucky John style was less than 5 miles away, although it was in rush hour traffic!
Lovely small business hotel, Clean, dry and with our bookings and all those little extras that we could need. (except bar and restaurant.)
No pictures today, maybe later.
