| We started of the day with a 40 minute drive to the Skoda museum, the road wasn’t too bad there was a highway all the way unlike yesterday. Anyone’s guess what the speed limit was along the motorway, every 100 metres there seemed to be another speed limit with a number anywhere between 50 and 110, so we just followed the traffic.
The Skoda museum wasn’t bad it,had about 50 vehicles tracing the company’s history and a lot of engines on stands. There was a new showroom next door where you could buy or look at the new models which were very nice. They are a VW company and you can see the VW good looks, quality and influence in their products. They have a range of cars a big car not much smaller than a Falcon, probably built of a Passat called the Superb, and a range of smaller products. Regular listeners to the now defunct highly rating 94.7 Pulse FM Motorshow will remember there’s plans a foot to bring Skoda back to Australia, and looking at the products it should do very well up against the likes of Passat, Mazda 6 and the Honda Accord. |

| We headed back into Prague and after a refresh headed into the city to find some internet to do a few jobs and send a few mails. We ended up at McDonald’s which had a good setup and you could buy beer. So a Big Mac (they had sold out of Royal with cheese – remember Pulp Fiction) and a couple of Pilsners we got our jobs done only to find it was raining outside. We did a bit of a walk around but it was just too wet so we headed back to the Botel to dry off and do a few jobs on the computer. |

| By about 7 it was fine again and we walked back into the city area which was about a half hour walk. We walked the streets and took in some of the historic sights and took quite a few photographs. We grabbed a feed at a Italian restaurant,, how’s this for a pizza, pizza with French Fries and Frankfurt Sausage.. it tasted much better than it sounded. A few more laps of the city and back to the Botel on the tram. We couldn’t work out where to get tickets for the tram so just jumped on- everyone else seemed to be doing the same- we didn’t get caught so all worked out fine. |
