Saturday 19th July

Set off at allocated time with the extra stop at the cow bell shop think the owner was pleased to make a 20 euro sale at 9.10. Passed through some lovely towns on way to motorway but hit traffic problems on the a8 putting an hour onto our journey. Realised along the way we needed a toll sticker for czech but we can get at services -:you can hardly see out the front window for stickers. Weather is at 34 degrees and it is extremely hot queuing outside at services for toilets. Czech motorways very quiet once we escaped roadworks in germany. Sat nav took us straight to hotel door . We were allocated room on 14th top floor in executuve suite air conditioned suite with 2 mini bars 2 40 inch tvs bed that would fit a family of 6 and double aspect views of the city not bad for £50 of tesco clubcard vouchers. People who spend them in store should be ashamed. Underground stop only 500m away with only 3 lines so simple to work out. 80p for a single ticket. As its 34 degrees i suggest we get tube to furthest point and walk back through old town no steve knows best ! So after a 5 mile hike up and down dale we settle for a substandard tea and a grumpy sticky anita. Good news is petrol station next to hotel sells cold beer! Cant wait for 33 degrees trip out tomorrow.....
