Not a hugely eventful day today. We left Hagen fairly early, bound for Prague. Along the way were some perfect driving conditions: overcast and cool, open 3 lane autobahn; and we got the car up to 180km/hr with only a slight decline (a record we have yet to break...)

TomTom took us through Nuremburg (on the other side of the country to Nurburg) where we were yesterday), a city was vaguely familiar with (read: have been given a short tour of once before; not ever driven around it) so we pulled in for lunch and to check e-mails.

Back on the road and we were soon entering the Czech Republic. We made good time to Prague, and quickly discovered another problem withour whole sat-nav idea - the maps of Eastern Europe seem to be a little more than slightly off. Turns out it's not a showstpooer, but it requires whoever's not driving to be following the map and to know where you are, and to give directions rally driver style.

OK so we make it to the Exotl Inn alright in the end - with sme help from a local Czech driver who was already on the phone and who also manaed to honk his horn and point us to not turn down this particular street, but to go forwards more and down the next one. And watch out for that tram.

Anyway, this inn, it's nice and seems fairly new, but the prices are rip-off tourist traps and our bathroom is falling apart and isn't drained, so when some dope showers with the door open the floor is satched for a day and a half afterwards.

Staropramen beer is my fav so far.
