We arrived in Munich on 16th July and collected Homer for the seventh summer in Europe. In May 2008 no-one would have predicted that we would still be travelling full-time in 2014 but here we are. We had a few days to catch up with everyone and do all our chores. We spent a weekend in Switzerland with Justine and Arjen and the boys and a night in Assling with Elizabeth and Randolf.
On 24th July we left for Czech Republic, driving through the Bavarian Forest and Southern Bohemian countryside to Cesky Krumlov; the Old City and Castle is a Unesco site. It was a pleasant bike ride into town from the camping site, which was solar powered. The bar had a live rock band belting out everything from Beatles to ACDC. We heard it from the camper and changed out of our pajamas to join the locals for beer and dancing into the early hours! We went to the town of Ceske Budejovice( Budweis ) and toured the REAL Budweiser Brewery, where the beer actually tastes like beer! We camped a night near Brno at a huge "working-class" holiday resort at the lake packed to the gills with reveling teenagers and families. We were there to tour the local Morovian wine regions and sample some wine. We visited Mikolov, Lednice and Valdice. The countryside in that region was "landscaped" over several centuries by the Liechtenstein dukes and the whole area is a Unesco site.
We then traversed Slovakia into Hungary, via Gyor and spent the night in Szeged.
