Day 14: Plíškovice - Staré Hobzí

Bridge near StádlecWith the night being cloudless it is very cold. Nevertheless I slept very well. Obviously I succeeded in putting the tent on a spot where it gets some sun in the morning. And so it becomes dry again in the morning. The cycling part of the Italian guys doesn't have to wait for the camper becoming dry. Therefore they start earlier than me while I leave the place just before the supporting camper. Yesterday I had a look at the map and I saw a nice route next to the bigger roads but still running rather straight. It crosses the river Lužnice, a feeder of the Vltava near the town Stádlec with a beautiful old bridge, the Stádlecký Most. It is really worth going there over some broken roads with bad asphalt. The bridge has been restored in the last few years. After the bridge, up to the village Dobřejice there is a steep road running in a few serpentines which are still wet. This even makes the front wheel of Racertje slip but I manage to get up there by cycling.
The weather is nice today. But still I manage to catch the only black cloud today. I cycle in the hardest rain of the whole journey and look around and everywhere there is blue sky - except above me. But therefore I avoid putting on the rain clothes because I expect to get dry again afterwards anyway. The camping site Letni Den (Czech for "summer day") in... or let's better say *near* Staré Hobzí is run by a Dutch family, too. The owner can't believe that I had rain today as it was a perfect day there. The place is situated in a quiet valley, a very nice spot. But because of valley position the sunset comes early and with it cold temperatures. So after having eaten something it's so cold that I decide to crawl into the tent and the sleeping bag. Hopefully the morning will be sunny...
