.....After five nights staying with friends, we were starting to forget that we're on a journey so this morning we hit the road.....

....50 miles south and we reached Kutna Hora where we visited the Sedlec Ossuary....This is the church that Ewan & Charlie visited in Long Way Round.....It's the church that has been decorated with thousands of human bones.....It's quite an incredible place and I'm glad to have finally seen it in the flesh.....

.....Kutna Hora.....

.....Afterwards we started to head north towards Germany.....Today we rode about 120 miles and landed at a place called Terezin.....As we rode in, the place looked incredible....Amazing architecture.....It resembles a Napoleonic fortress with a huge moat surrounding it.....We soon found a hotel and then wandered down to visit the fort.....Although it was built at the end of the 18th century, it was unfortunately used by the Nazis in WWII mainly as a prison but also to commit atrocities.....It was a sad place to visit and is now a museum.....

....One of the fortress gates....

.....So afterwards, we visited the Motor Museum down the road and enjoyed the collection of cars, motorbikes and the obligatory London bus.....Outside were three guys travelling on vintage Jawa mopeds....

....I'd rather be riding an MT....

.....We're on our way home now, so tomorrow hopefully Germany.....
