Tuesday




The final touches to the race venue are happening with tents being erected, signage going up and the electronic timing system being installed. The girls and Shaun did an early morning aerobic session on the flat, before we caught the train to Prague for a spot of sightseeing as a group. the It took some convincing to get everyone to go but it is such a gorgeous city and they had really only been for a short wander one night.
Trying to limit the time was difficult and sightseeing as a group even harder, so we split up and arranged to meet back at Charles Bridge at 1.15pm. Lou, Bridey, Nikki and I spotted a 40 minute tour in a vintage car which was a fantastic idea and even though I had been to Prague many times, it was still worthwhile. Driving near the castle we spotted the Gibb seniors walking the road beside us... amazing in the throngs of tourists!!
Back in Roudnice for the afternoon session for the girls ( boys rest day!) and caught up with Kay Dawson who is judging at the event, before heading to Beijing as a judge.
Dinner with the only South African girl and her dad who had taken some photos of the girls in the afternoon.
