When I look back at my Summer 2023 trip to Czechia I have a weirdly negative perspective on the trip. As I upload this “photo essay” of the trip my memories metamorphose into something more positive. This was following the less-than-legal Trans Czech Trail, of which I did about three quarters. It seemed to link up motocross tracks, I threw Big Boris around all of them – although only once.
I remember good, cheap beer and a lot of fried cheese dishes. Which is good. Mostly terrible coffee though – but that’s the east for you. The final night when I tried to camp in the forest also stands out. I pulled into the forest with two nice trees in sight, the place was crawling with ants. Millions of them. Everywhere. Next forest, the same. Next forest, the same and my decompression cable snapped.
By the time I got out Boris and I had ants everywhere. I was still finding the damn things days later!
