We have just... not passed the Czech Republic!

The fouth stage! We had almost walked, run, cycled 300 km and we almost got over the border out of the Czech Republic. But I saw it already coming... At around 20-25 km from our last break, there was an appealing point:  Zernosecke vinarstvi. Yep, maybe some of the participants don't remember, but it was a vineyard where they produce wine out of those beautiful grapes. πŸ˜‹πŸ·πŸ₯‚ Quite some of us decided to stay there for a while and got up a little bit later the next morning. πŸ₯±πŸ˜œ It was nice to see Koen all of sudden, just as Julia and Francesca. Nice to see how everybody is enjoying this trip together! 

 

Prague - City of the 100 towers - bath of beer - quarry Velke Amerika 


The next place to go was Praque, around 90 km farther. We could stay there or make a by-pass. But, well now we were there! 😊 The capital of the Czech republic has the nicknames 'The golden city' en 'The city of the 100 towers'. Not that it has 100 towers, but at least a lot! There are many beautiful things to see in Prague when it comes to historical sites. You can also enjoy the food, drinks, a lovely place to stay the night and even some relaxing wellness! A lovely massage, a facial mask or just enjoy the warm water. But there is also something that is even more unique: Beer Spa Bernard.

A relaxing, warm bath filled with beer and drinking beer as much as you want! You can either wear bath clothing or not. You do get a towel and slippers of the center itself. And then you can enjoy your bath for 30 minutes.... I wonder who went there? The ones who didn't want this at all, could just enjoy the historical sites and the quarry Velka Amerika with its beautiful blue water. Enough to see and do here! 

 

 


A piece of meat with a lot of sauce and some whipped cream 

At a certain moment, Lobke got the idea to have dinner with all of us. There was something arranged at a local restaurant just outside the city center. To gather every one of us, WhatsApp is very useful in this and that's how we were able to get a nice Czech supper at around 8.30pm. In this case the local dish was 'SvíčkovΓ‘ na smetanΔ›': a piece of meat with a lot of sauce and some whipped cream! Sounds lovely, isn't it? πŸ˜‹ Maybe you should serve that one day to your friends who are coming for a nice dinner at your place! The evening was really nice at this lovely summer night, after which everyone got to his place chosen to spend the night. As usual: one picked a somewhat more luxurous place than the other. 

Eventually we got to BΕ™eclav in the last 4 days. It is located at around 15 km from Slovenia and 5 km from Switserland. Our route will go through Slovenia. We will pass some amazing mountains from where we will pass the border into Hungary. 

How about our Troopers and Warriors? 

How is everyone of us? I hope everybody still has some energy. We have done 14 days now and have another 16 to go! Let's see where we will end up! The route is amazing anyway! 

It's time to see who the Warriors are of this stage. Good to know: Lobke has already reached her distance goal, so she decided to to another 100! Great!! πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½

Now, our Warriors of the 4th stage: 

> walking: Leon! He has already covered  88% of his total walking distance! πŸŽˆπŸŽ‡

> running: again Leon! He walks, but he also covers distances while running and has reached 58% of it! ✨🧨

> tour cycling: a new Warrior.... Lisanne! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ† She has reached already 68% of her total distance! 

> race cycling: well.... that remains to be Louis! πŸ‘ŠπŸ½πŸ€ΈπŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

Congratulations all! 

Would you like to know how all of you are doing in there distances? Have a look at the Trooper bord (Bikkelbord). And mind you: the bar is the measuring of ones personal distance in percentage!! 

Lots of luck with the distances and donations!
