BT XII - Day 7

The day of the divertion.
OK the first was of our own making.   With a day of "normal" mileage Tomtom advised us of an early arrival. Rrather than face the straight-ish Austrian valley roads we set the  GPS to find us some wiggly roads.   The resulting trip through small rural hamlets was charming and very enjoyable.
Not so the next three diversions. one in  Germany and the final two in the Czech Republic.   There the roads are just closed with no obvious detour,   Even with the mighty Tomtom to aid us, navigation was a struggle at times and we seemed to be the object of much amusement to several road workers.
Again we arrived within our target window and set off for a drink and fine and cheap dinner in the centre of town, with free karaoke too. (half litre of beer approximately £1)
The scenery on the Czech roads was wonderful and you don't need mud flaps when a nice man in a white van (or car) is willing to provide the service free of charge by driving six inches behind you.
Final note :- Soda rapides and  Suzuki swifts aren't !
