In the morning we had some coffee and toast with Brittany before taking off. We got to take a bike trail along the river on our way out of the city. Before heading to the hills we stopped to fuel up on some falafel, and had to reorder because they put yogurt on them. It was like an hour long falafel stop. Haha, we make good time. Whoa, did we hit some hills on our way in the Czech Republic! Lots of apple trees. It's hard to resist stopping for them. At the border we exchanged some cash, but didn't have to worry about our passports.
Our ride in the Czech was spooky!!! Once we passed the border it instantly god foggy and cold. and i mean instantly. as though that weren't weird enough, the people didn't seem to come out of their homes so there was a feeling of desolation everywhere. I remember the ominous presence of a windmill obscured by a cloud in the distance. Even its warning light was obscured by the thickness of the fog. When we finally passed our highest point for the day we went down a hill that frankly reminded me of what i imagine would make a good level for a video game for something like resident evil. We made it into Utsi n laben and road just out of the city and stopped at this man's house to ask him if it would be alright if we set up our tent in his lawn. He smiled at us, without understanding quite what we had asked, but getting the gist, and then lowered his rifle. (just kidding).
