When we set out in the morning, we discover Jo has his second flat. This time it’s the front tyre. So out come the tools again. We had planned to make an early start and get some mileage done but it seems we have to change our plans again.

in the mean time dark clouds are moving in again.

The first tyre we replace seems to be punctured as well… We patch it up and in it goes again.

This time it seems to hold, so we put the inner tyre carefully in and then we’re ready to go!

We ride further west through the Czech countryside and it feels like we’re riding constantly on a mountain rim. The views out on both sides of the route are just stunning.

We stop for a quick picknick at Kacov castle. It seems it was quite an important site in history but now it is mainly a nice but run down location for wedding parties.

We find a camp site with views on the lake near Plesnice, not too far from the German border. In the end we did get the mileage done we were aiming for and we had a beautiful day on the bikes.
