Just woken up in the noisy lay-by, it’s 7.30am. James is still fast asleep. Doesn’t look too far on the map to the party castle and campsite, I hope there are showers there.
We’ve just reached Klatovy, the nearest town to the party, which has a HUGE Tesco. So we went shopping. Unfortunately, Tesco Cz doesn’t seem to do clubcards, so no staff discount here. None of the staff speak any English, but it’s easy enough to work out what’s what – everything is pretty much the same, but they have more Tesco Value stuff and none of the Finest.
Czech Republic seems very strange, we get funny looks from everyone (except the other rally teams, of which there are plenty) but can’t explain what we’re doing because nobody speaks a word of English.
We’ve spent quite a while at the campsite now, explaining lack of kit to other teams (excuses like ‘we ran out of time and money’, and reasons like ‘We genuinely don’t think we’ll need half the stuff you have’) and flying the kite I found in the shed at Mum’s (the bowls set will have to wait, the campsite is too hilly!)
Great weather today, lots of sun and a bit of wind to keep the insects away. It threatened to pour down a while ago, but just spat for 5mins, then passed. Might have a bit of sunburn, but put the factor 50 on after a while, so shouldn’t be too bad.
Still no shower, James rigged up the tarp around the car so he could hide and have a bath in a mess tin (or something like that) but I was too lazy to bother, and had just put sun cream on anyway.
