BT XII - Day 8

I spoke too soon.
Ah, you crazy Czechs and your closed roads,  how you make me yearn for the cuddly little German umleitungs.  We had 6 closed roads and numerous temporary traffic lights before the half way point of today's ride.  Some of the closed roads had diversions,  some did not and all were completely incomprehensible to any non Czech speakers. The might and wonder of our GPS again came to put aid.
Fortunately with a long ride today we set off sharply this morning.  The early departure was wasted when John and I parted ways during the first diversion and took nearly half an hour to meet up again,  precisely where we started. (if only my Bluetooth had been working.)
The day promised rain which we were lucky to mostly avoid. However the waterproofs were invaluable in the damp,  spray and for insulation purposes, particularly during our frequent ascents into the cloud. These were both distinctly damp and cold enough for the heated grips to come into play.
Quote of the day from John - These Czech  drivers are  f.....g lunatics,  I'm looking forward to getting some sensible drivers in Poland.  (my near head on into an oncoming overtaking car would beg to differ).
Sights of the day,  a white goose farm,  an upside-down house,  playing  cranes and eventually our hotel.
Dinner was to defeat us however.
