We didn't make it to the open-air museum, in fact we sat in the van, watching the rain .... and thunder and lightening and reading our books from about 11.00am until 8 in the evening when we dashed across to the hotel next door, for a meal and a change of scenery! It continued to rain all night and after putting the tent/awning away soaking wet and carrying all the washing which had been on a washing line since yesterday morning and was also drenched, we left the site and headed further west into the Czech Republic. The rain eventually petered out late morning, and by mid-afternoon we arrived at a somewhat surreal site beside a lake. The plumbing and electrics, and the site generally, have the look and feel of "Soviet era - circa 1960" and nearby there is a group of campers who appear to be from the Czech branch of the owners club for a small Citroen hatchback car. Next to the camping field is a bar with an outside seating area and a "Live performance" from a local very loud Blues band! However, the rain has held off and the sun even shone for a while, so we have got the tent and the laundry dry.
The plan is to go on to a site on the outskirts of Prague tomorrow and spend a couple of days exploring the city. The weather forecast doesn't sound too promising but hopefully we can find enough to see undercover to cope with the wettest bits.
