This day's ride was over 250 miles (that's long riding the back roads) and in the shape of a Czech (check) mark. We had hoped to visit the castle at Cesky Krumlov, but it took so long to get there riding the wonderful back roads that there was only two hours left to see the castle and it was closed the next day (Monday). Additionally there were many signs indicating that it was a high car prowl area. We were even approached by an English speaking beggar. So we settled for an external picture of the castle and motored on to the town of Tabor just south of Prague. With the help of Booking.com, we found a penzion with secure parking downtown near the train station.
After we Czeched in, we headed out walking to find some dinner which we found at a little pizza shop. The proprietor was very friendly and the Gyro Tortila was wonderful. We continued walking towards the old town admiring the architecture and came across
a 'Best of Carmen' live concert in the town square with a full orchestra. It was outstanding and we really enjoyed it although it was lightly drizzling.
Back at the Penzion Dasa, we watched Poland get eliminated in the World Cup by Colombia, and plotted our next stop. We're headed for Turnov and will spend two nights there. We're skipping Prague as visiting big cities with a motorcycle isn't fun. Little towns and villages are.
