Nachod (continued)

Nachod's main square from our hotel room

Rob is improving but still not back to normal, so we stayed around Nachod for another day. By mid-afternoon he was feeling well enough to suggest a few hours on the bike.  We headed for an area called the Ardspach-Teplice Rocks, which is popular with hikers.  The rock formations visible from the road were similar to those we saw on the German/Czech border north of Decin.  We didn't do any hiking, but noticed a number of camping sites and pensions.  Good riding weather--it's cooled a bit and no sign of rain.  Tomorrow we will move south, perhaps to Olomouc, though that city may be too large to tackle.  We hope to reach Budapest in the next couple of days.

I've been reading Madeleine Albright's book Prague Winter which provides a history of Czechoslovakia during the years 1937-1948, including the Czech Government-in-Exile in London, for which her father worked.  It's a personal view but gives many insights into the war years, personalities, and decisions that affected the Czechs and their country.
