Reaching Prague in the evening in the rain was actually my best experience of Prague. It is a beautiful city but since I was not feeling in the best physical health I don’t think I really gave Prague the best shot.
Having found a cheap hostel I settled in and spent the next couple of days sleeping a lot and eating healthy food in a bid to get myself well.
I was lucky to be able to have a night staying with a Warm Showers host, Patrick – an English ex-pat living and working in Praha. This was really helpful for my mental health as I had someone to chat with in English and a vague sense of home … all thanks to PJ since I dont’t think I was the best company and he was on a time schedule, heading off to the UK the following day to see his mother … we did manage to get out for 1 Plisner Urqwell (beer)though!
Despite feeling a bit wobbly I get to walk around Praha quite a bit and enjoy some of the sights …
I also meet a group of Mexicans in the hostel who are participating in the Battle of the Nations – the Olympic Games of the Medieval Tournament circuit – which is being held in Praha this weekend! Hilarious reports of the tournament and their purchasing of armour and battle paraphanalia!!
I leave Praha on my birthday after unsuccesfully searching for the tournament grounds and deciding that I am not pushing a fully loaded Tilly around any more ..

Hurrah!
Amazing blog Rae! Can’t believe you kept quiet about all this… just like someone else we know.
Keep it up, one pedal, one more pedal, one post or something, we want to know how you’re doing. How come Fred Estaire got a building in so many countries?! Glad to see you, Tilly and Robbie are holding up well. Take a break when you can though, no sense in rushing anywhere…
Cycled past Camlo yesterday on the way to see Ken, she looks just fine. Let us know if you need anything. Can post stuff to you or check on stuff or whatever.
Freedom, luck and love,
Ruth and Dunc
