When we were searching for accommodation in the rain the previous evening we had spotted a bike shop. Rod suspected that his chain and cassette were probably worn out, so after breakfast at Pension Rosa he headed down there. The bike shop had suitable parts and was able to fit them pretty well straight away.
With a late start and after our 90km day yesterday we decided to head for Sedlec-Prcice, about 50km away.
We rejoined the Greenways bike route and followed it into Tabor for coffee, cake and a look around the old central part of the city, which is very nice.
Leaving Tabor we decided not to follow the bike route initially, and followed what looked on the map to be a fairly straight secondary road, rejoining the Greenways route for the last 10km to Sedlec-Prcice.
We climbed a lot of hills today, some of them quite solid climbs.
Finding accommodation in Sedlec-Prcice took a while. There seemed to be very little choice, and we ended up in extremely pokey little rooms in a somewhat overpriced Pension Dalmo.
After dinner Trace and I went for a stroll around the quiet little town. We followed a little brook for a while and in the dim light of dusk spotted an otter crossing the stream and going into its home in the bank.
Above the stream, on the edge of town was a small lake.
Tomorrow we reach Prague, where we have booked accommodation at Hostel U Melounu.
