Holey shit today has been epic... I was stressing hard most of the day but now im over it.
Sorry for the language at some points in this but its how the day was.
Started in Praha (Prague) we went for a bit of a sight see as we couldn't check into our hotel in Ostrava until later in the afternoon and the track open until after 6pm.
The night in Praha we had tried to plan to have a kitchen in our apartment as we knew tonight in Ostrava we didn't have one... so that was mint we had a kitchen with no pots or pans... we got one little pan from the chap down stairs and we cooked up some chicken breasts... hole breasts as we didn't have a knife... then fired up some pasta in the pan... no pot... that was meant to be dinner, turns out it was lunch.. any longer in a hot car and it would have been the trots.
Anyway with our cooking out of the way we got in some sightseeing, Charles st bridge and some of the old town in Prague, pretty impressive and with Hot chocolate even better. Then it was off to ostrava a 3.5hr drive away... the roads in czech are no autobarn we bumped our way to Ostrava arriving a bit after 3 to our hotel.
Check in at the hotel did not run smoothly, with our capacity of the czech language starting with hello (dobridon) and ending with thank you (diky) it was hard to explain that our bikes would be coming inside. With use of google translate on the internet katie and the lady at the hotel came to the understanding there was no where for our bikes and they were NOT aloud in our room.... sucks for them! however they got us back as there resturant is closed on Sunday and now this means our one meal we could easily get will not be available.. guess we are even and with a shower made for a 3 foot midget they really jibbed us.
We got to the track after driving in circles for the good part of 2 hours and it started to bucket down hard. I packed a sad and didn't want to get my finger wet and soggy, plus our bike had to get in the hotel and to function in the race tomorrow with no way of cleaning them, So after not eating since before 12 now been around 630 we headed off looking for food... yea good one all the places are pubs and cant read a menu... I can read one menu though McDonalds so after trying for an hour and half to avoid McDs, I ended up there and Katie went to some hong kong fuwi place and got some rice dish and vegetable dish.
Now: 15mins ago I had a bath because of the midget shower... the water was the colour of a river so got out of that in a hurry, but not before I got my finger all wet, which by the way got put back on all crocked so now I have a deformed finger that I have no feeling in, and still has all the blood on from the day it happened. Might give it a good clean now though. Still haven't decided if ill race, probably will as I have been riding all week and I feel fast, I just haven't used my finger at all yet so don't no how it will handle it. Ill Man up though for sure
ok we are off to bed now to get some much needed rest and listen to our good old English DRINKING songs from the pub below. "Where did you come from where did you go ... cotton eye joe"
