After a five hour drive (with Metro producing a stellar 52mpg) we arrived and set up camp. The journey was uneventful though importantly dry and sunny. The mountainous backdrop we were used to from both Austria and Switzerland was quickly replaced with a more British rolling countryside.
After pitching up on an island in the middle of the river at the heart of Prague we ventured into the city using a perfect public transport system that only Communism could build - so far, the only benefit of Democracy is that you have to pay for it.
The last time we visited, the city was covered in snow at -11 degrees. Today was entirely different with Prague enjoying a high-twenties summer. Naturally, we went off in search of a pint of Staropramen - setting us back only 70p each!
Tommorrow we will be sight seeing, so will have some photos to upload. Metro will be enjoying a well-deserved rest at the campsite til we go west on Friday..
