Day 14 Prague

And another train trip. We are unable to speak a word but everyone's very helpful and has some English.

 

Walked another 15 km today just seeing the sites and looking at the lovely buildings.

Day 13 Prague

Berlin to Prague 1200 miles out and our furthest point. Stopped at the border to get a vignette to allow us to drive on Czech roads. It's a very pretty country.

The camp site is lovely great facilities very clean and lots of flowers. One of the nicest we've been to. 

Had a bike ride to the nearest town Zbraslav to get some currency koruna.

 Had a meal in the camp site restaurant spicy prawns and Mart had chicken skewers!

   

Day 12 Berlin

And it was back on the train but a bit further to Sanssouci palace and park. Of course the only day the palace shuts is a Tuesday but that gave us plenty of time to see the other sights.

Part of Potsdam uni was opposite and if anything looked grander than the palace that was having loads of renovations done to the outside.

 

The grounds were enormous and had an  orangery, castle, water features, botanical gardens, and was unlike anything we'd seen before. Had lunch in KaTeWe an extremely upmarket and huge department store. Walked about 16 k

Day 11 Berlin

A cycle through the woods to the station to catch a train on time of course to Berlin. We walked 18 km and saw all the sites. The Reichstag, Brandenburg gate, the Jewish memorial , Checkpoint  Charlie, some of the wall that's left standing and Hitler's bunker that is now a car park!   

  

Day 10 Berlin

Woke up to rain but we were mostly packed up. Headed for Bergen Belsen first. A dull drizzly stop which felt quite fitting.

 

We then set out for Berlin to a site near a lake in the wood.

 

It has stopped  raining and is a quite pleasant evening.

Day 9 Winsen

Due to the weather forecast and the length of the journey we decided to get a bus to Celle.

A lovely town with beautiful old buildings. The oldest (and green one in the PhotoCollage) was 1520.

 

The machine was for peeling and washing the spargle or white asparagus.

And we saw otters near the palace!

When we got back we decided to cycle to Belsen but after 2 1/2 kn I had another puncture!!! Mart is now an expert!!

Day 8 Winsen

About 2 1/2 hour drive to Winsen (Aller) and a lovely pitch next to the river. Went into the town in the afternoon and we were going to head off to Belsen when Martin got a puncture!
