The day saw autumn progress from the green pine trees of the Czech Republic, through wide wooded valleys, to full autumn plumage of greens, yellows oranges and gold's. A visually spectacular day, if a bit long (260+ miles) and unchallenging. However, setting into a rhythm a very enjoyable one.
Highlights include goading a local biker into doing a 100 mph stoppie, apparently ! (John reported this, with him being the meat in the sandwich)
In 'umleintung' news, almost nothing other than a very short Czech one at the start the day, until the last 30 miles. At this point the Germans appeared to notice their error and attempted to keep up their averages by throwing diversion followed by diversion. It must be reported that towards the end of the day and faced with yet another detour, John suggested ignoring the 'no entry' signs and riding the wrong way down a one way street. A decision that turned out to be well worth the risk.
Tonight sees us in a historic town, well cared for by our hosts (like Soap, a tale of two sisters, or possibly 3 sisters and a daughter) and in single rooms.
Hopefully we will be well rested by tomorrow when we will have Sunday drivers to contend with.
