Road Trip! Traveling from Czech to Austria

It was around 8pm when Karel came home from his dad's after working on my bike..... Yay! Thanks Jirka for letting me borrow your race wheels!!! They are super duper fast!

There is so much history in this beautiful town and of course, I have a great tour guide to share all the little details about Znojmo.  Karel enjoyed telling me about his bike rides in the town, especially this one (pic above) on his steel bike, racing his buddies to the top.  I really love learning about another culture/town but knowing that this is where Karel grew up is very special.  After our 45 minute stroll around town, we were finally ready for bed around 10:15pm and had a good night of sleep until 6:30am.

We started our morning around 8:30am with coffee and a light breakfast which I normal around here.
