We arrived in Olomouc on a Sunday evening. This is a very bad day (and time) to sort out accomodation. The place that we thought we could stay in (recommended backpacker place in the Lonely Planet) was closed for renovations (this is the downside of not checking ahead of time!). So, we wandered around and asked at various hotels how much the rooms were. Often the result...

We travelled from Prague by bus to Jicin which turned out to be a ridiculous trip. We pretty much did a loop around the countryside before we reached our destination.

The train was really nice but you had to go and stand...

The closer the train got to Roznov, the more it...

Am Morgen stellen wir fest, dass der linke Arm von Dani beaengstigend angeschwollen ist, von der Hand bis zum Ellbogen. Die Bordmittel des Hotels haben offensichtlich zu wenig Wirkung. Wir entscheiden uns, mit Dani ins oertliche Hospital von Wickenburg zu Fahren. Er wird dort fast eine Stunde befragt und behandelt. Unsere Absicht, etwas frueher loszufahren wurde dadurch behindert. Gegen...
