We spent most of the day in the drizzle and cold rain. We headed up north and entered the Czech Republic riding through the small farm lands of Austria and Czech. We finally spotted some deer off in the grass fields. Pretty small animals compared to our deer. We enter the city of Prague, and found nothing but chaos..all the streets were short, one way and packed with cars. The pedestrians just step out and expect you to stop. Very hard to do on the old cobblestone streets. As bikes we are trying to go slow and steady and look for the next turn.... Im going to start hitting them soon. You need to force your way into traffic and rev the motor so they choose to step out after you go by. We did not see many bikes or mopeds so maybe they don't know how dangerous it is. These large cobblestone roads are not flat and feel more like an off road adventure with a well oiled track. This is definitely a bustling city.
We have now spent more than 3 hours checking in and trying to park the bikes. The lady at the front counter was in no hurry. Did I mention not only did we wait but we paid 30 euros per day to find this parking spot and park. It was only 3 blocks away but 1 km and 10 minutes of one way angled messed up streets.
Welcome to Prague, im sure it ill be worth it....more later.
