After spending five days in Prague, I am pretty confident we were the last team to leave Praha and the Czech republic. We did a bit of sight seeing. Had a go on a go-kart, saw some old bones and looked at an old castle.
Friday 5th September 2008, the day before leaving prague the alternator on the car died. Lucky for us Lukas and Petr were very helpful and managed to find us a new replacement. Bad news was it wasn't in stock, and we would have to pay extra for overnight delivery. We were cutting it fine. Met up with Petr at 8 am on Saturday. He took us to pick up the alterator, then we drove to where the car was parked. It took about an hour to fit the new alternator. Start up the engine. The battery warning light went out. We were good to go. Thanked Petr, then drove the car to the Corinthia towers hotel for Ginge to check out.
Then we drove out of Praha for lunch before dropping Ginge off at the airport.
Three Kippers and I headed towards Karlovy Vary, then crossed the German border. Heading towards Mitterteich. The Sat nav had a lot of problem locating the autobahn from here. But we read the road signs and navigated through. We stopped off in Frankfurt am Main for the night. It was about 800 km from the German - Czech border.
The next day. Three Kippers drove all 600 Km from Frankfurt to Calais.
Being a Sunday, all the shops were shut, so no shopping for us! We had a late lunch at the Buffalo Grill near Auchans before going to the ferry port to change our return ticket. It cost us 28 Euro to change the ferry return date from Monday to Sunday. We were in Dover by 6:40pm. The rest is very uneventful. Though we did get a lot of stares from other cars on the road and the customs guy in the UK couldn't stop laughing and waived us through when he saw our car and had read the team name.
