Travelling from Bratislava to Praha

Well it was a sleep-in morning with breakfast scheduled for 8:30am. A quick breakfast and we were ready to get our gear out of the rooms and packed in the vehicles. We were all packed and on the road by 10:30am. First stop was the Vajda factory in Bratislava to have a look through the factory and pick up a boat. The factory visit was interesting, we had a bit of a look around, all boats were being made by hand, a very manual process. Tim and Tom bought some straps for their boat and I purchased some resin for the repair kit.

We left the factory about 12:15 pm and headed out of Bratislava for Brno. We needed a Motorway pass for all there vehicles in Slovakia and then when we crossed the border into Czech Republic we had to purchase another 3 motorway passes. The windscreen seems to be getting covered with Motorway passes from different countries. We had lunch in a park just over the border in Czech Republic. a quick feed and we were off again. Finally we arrived in Praha around 4:45pm, just in time to get on the water for a quick session. We have settled into our accommodation in the boathouse, seems fine. Its great to be right on the waters edge. After training we took off to find somewhere to eat, finally we found a nice Chinese restaurant and had a great meal for next to nothing (great for the budget). After dinner Justin and I went in search of a Supermarket to get some supplies for the morning, this is the first day we have had to source our own breakfast. Well we finally found Tesco, but we were unsure of whether we could find our way back to the Boathouse, finally got home at 12:20 am.

I am writing this diary entry at 1:30am, after our return from the supermarket.

Cheers for now; Geoff
