Tuesday in Prague

We both had a reasonable sleep on our second flight from Hong Kong to Frankfurt.

Then we had the repeat experience of trying to get the car that we had booked from Europcar.
We had booked a compact car with a "trailer hitch". Such a thing apparently doesn't exist so we are eligible for an upgrade, but the upgraded car cannot be driven in Slovakia.....
Sometime later we left with a 9 seater bus (stop laughing Terry - Terry had the team bus in Rieti).

When we left Frankfurt it was 10 degrees, this dropped to 8C as we approached the Czech border and peaked at 12C as we approached Prague. We had light rain for most of the trip and cloud base was generally around 500'.
It reminds me of why I emigrated :-)

We have a breakfast meeting tomorrow with Bronek who owns the LS8 glider BS that we are hiring.

  2. Oz newspaper headline today "PETER TEMPLE WINS" (literary award). Looks like an omen to me!
