August 16

August 16th (sunny)
Georg sat up half the night because he couldn’t sleep – too hot and too many mozzies. I guess the lack of sleep contributed to his first accident. While backing up to leave, he turned too sharply and glanced a tree. Minor cosmetic damage – hope this is the last – knock on wood (ha ha).
After a little difficulty finding our way out of Bratislava, we reached the highway en route to Prague. Our plan was to stop at Brno, however when we arrived, we decided to carry on to Prague which we reached at 2:30 in the afternoon. The Czech Republic is the thirteenth country and our odometer just passed 13,000.
If it wasn’t for the reputation that Prague has, we would probably not have visited, based on our past experiences with big cities. The campground we chose advertised a swimming pool. True to form, eastern European campsites are not up to a standard which their exorbitant rates command. Swimming pool is there, but full of algae water. As the tram is right out the door and the old core of Prague is fifteen minutes away, we reluctantly decided to stay.
Before we settled down for the evening, we went for a “little” walk. With George as the guide, we managed to find our way back just before dark. We noticed a change of weather. It is definitely a lot cooler here, but appears the clouds are moving in. Not again – looks like rain tomorrow. After another win at crib for me, we hit the sack.
