Kozel to Babylon

Trying to find our route out of Kozel proved just as hard as finding the campground. We thought we took the correct road but it turned out that we went about 8 km's out of our way before we recognized a road on the map. The scenery remained the same, rolling hills with forest and agriculture mixed together. Merklin was our lunch stop today and 2 km's down what we thought was the right way we discovered our error and backtracked to town to find our way. As the day progressed the thunderheads were building and we could again hear the thunder and see the lighting all around us but we remained dry. In Domazlice we stopped in the town square as a few light showers came through. We passed the time by sampling some bakery and discussing if we should go on or get a room here. The sky remained ominous all around except for the direction we were heading, so we decided to risk another 6 km's to camp in Babylon. The rain stayed away and we found a couple (Ted and Bianca) from Holland a!
lready set up and relaxing. They are making a circle tour of the Czeck Republic. After showers we all walked into "town" and had a very nice dinner and evening with them. John finally got to have an original Budweiser beer. Not the watered down American version.
