Czech beauty

Today we enjoyed a shorter 45 km cycle and arrived at the stunning Český Krumlov, one of the most impressive UNESCO World Heritage Sites anywhere and the most important historical artifact in the Czech Republic. If you ever take the opportunity to visit this part of the world ( hello Brian Baehr ), visiting Krumlov is a must!

The clouds tell yet another story ... :-)

Bike travel in the Czech Republic has been easy and uneventful (so far). The Greenways bike route system rivals the Dutch, although it's not yet country-wide. Our ride from Trabor to Krumlov (~ 110 km), was 90% on country roads or dedicated bike paths. The other 10% navigating through cities.

We've encountered some interesting weather ... Yesterday we rode through brilliant blue sky into light rain, into heavy rain, followed by hail and then back to sunshine. The rain held off for most of the day today, although we had 2 "rain-delays" staying dry under big trees while the clouds passed.

Tomorrow we are off to Trebon, another relatively short (60 km) ride. Trebon is known for its spas where you get wrapped in peat. Really? We'll let you know how that turns out ...

Keep riding and keep smiling!
