DAY 7:
After yesterday's stenographic performance of Petra taking the blog down over the phone, today Richard decided to try the texting method... therefore a bit less eloquent than usual. Not less poetic by any means though:
"19 kilometers today to Podolsko. The rain held off until I had packed the yak, however, it then rained for the rest of the day!
Nevertheless I passed through some cracking countryside. The Vltava Sentinels were out in force. Namely the legions of Czech fishermen deployed in mute and concentrated duty along the river bank. Hundreds of them hidden in the bushes with restricted arcs of fishing fire, alert and studiously watching and waiting for their floats to move.
In the 181 kilometers covered so far I have seen one fish being caught. Maybe I will see more in the next 131 km! Past the half way point, tomorrow should see me nearly past the 100 km to go milestone! The campsite is closed but a rustic pub 200m away offers a warm fire, cold Staropramen, good food and hot water. A bliss in this rainy time..."
