Some Quality Time Spent With Me.

Sunday August 29th

Hi, Hemi here at last managing to get a word in on my blog. They finally decided to leave Prague today, not that I minded being parked up in that lovely apple orchard. I watched people come and go from all around the world, but I seemed to be there the longest. One day I saw people there from Italy, Holland, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Spain, Czech Republic and of course I was from the UK although the kiwis are driving me, and there were only 15 sites. It was once of the nicest places I have ever been taken to and the people there were so friendly and helpful. They also kept the place immaculate and Mary loved it.

Alan programmed the Tom Tom to take us to Cesky Krumlov. Now doesn’t that sound like a great place. Haven’t seen it yet as they had to have a catch up day. That means doing laundry, diaries and IT stuff. I didn’t mind really as they hung about in me most of the day for a change.

It was an easy two and half hour trip without incidents. That means , no worong turns, no roadwaorks, no trucks and no arguments in the front seat over which way to go.The first campsite they got to was one Mary had found on the internet. It was so remote that even I think it was a bad choice. It was beautiful, once you got there and called Paradise but far too far out for visiting the place they want to see, so they gave up on that one and looked at some other options on the Tom Tom. They took the first choice, which is always wise and found the place we are in now.

When they arrived at this one there was no one here at all and it looked pretty unkempt. However they got out and walked around and found the facilities to be very clean. Mary was about to despair as there seemed to be no laundry, but then she checked out the ladies showers and guess what, a free washing machine. This was magic as no washing had been done for a week, so she rushed two loads through and Alan put up the clothes line. (No drier of course) Washing can cost as much as $7 a load so this was a real find. Free Wifi here as well so all this makes up for the long grass.

There are rows of shelters that you can camp under if you choose to. They are all covered with solar panels. After the washing was done, Mary updated her scrapbook diary that had got hopelessly behind while they were having such a busy time in Prague. Alan got all his photos sorted after being able to prise the laptop off Mary.

It is quite chilly here and the evening cooled down really fast. Mary was really cold and wondered if their bedding would be adequate, so put the fleecy blanket on and all was well. Summer seems to be over and there is a lot of rain on and off. Everywhere is green and lush. No sign of a drought here.
