We set out earlier as Jen wanted to get to the Charles Bridge before the crowds. Good call as we got there not long after 9am and were able to photograph things without too much competition. Having said that, nowhere is far in the old part of the city so it wasn’t a long trek. […]
Day 35: Prague Tuesday 14 July
We had a relaxed start, which was nice, and then off on a tour of sights selected by Jen. We had a look inside the church next door first. We had a bit of a wander through the streets, then it was coffee and snack at a nearby cafe. Next was watching the clock in […]
Day 34 To Prague via Saxony: Monday 13 July
I drove us from Chemnitz to Prague and Jen had mapped out a route that took us to a coffee stop in a cute German town and then lunch somewhere else. On the way, she revised the plan to 2 different stops which included a visit to some scenic bridge in the Saxony-Switzerland National Park, […]
Days 32-33: MotoGP, Saturday and Sunday 11 and 12 July
Jen drove us to the Sachsenring via an ATM on Saturday. It’s annoying that all the food and drink stalls are cash only. When you get beer or shandy you pay an extra €2 per plastic glass and get a red token. You then get your €2 back when you return the containers and tokens. […]
Days 30 – 31: Budapest to Chemnitz Germany, Thursday/Friday 9th and 10th July

Day 29 Budapest: Wednesday 8th July
