Changes

For one reason or another we have changed to the car from the bike; then for a while it may have become "all change" as I looked at flying to Brno instead of driving. A fly-drive trip may have come out a little cheaper, even via Vienna instead of Brno.

In the end I have simply shaved a day off the schedule and Poland has been dropped.

The route now takes us from Colditz across the nearest border and to Prague and the dalnice to Brno. The TomTom mapping is pretty daft. They sold the XL with IQ mapping but when the first (and free) upgrade ran, the maps are too big to fit. Instead you have to choose a sub section. The only one that includes UK doesn't include the ČR!

So. We have to hope that the free wifi at the hotel in Bochum will let me download the right maps or we simply shift to ancient Garmin power; which does have all the maps.

Three weeks to go!!
