For the past 10 or so days, our team has been running around Europe without our last teammate, Daniel Morizio. While it has certainly been leisurely Euro-tripping across Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Czech as well as comfortable from the perspective of roominess in our Skoda Stevie, it’s great to finally “start” the rally officially as well as have the entire gang together. Welcome, Dan.
Dan flew in today from San Francisco, the greatest city on planet earth. We advised him to pack light, which thankfully he did. “Only the essentials” we told Dan and he followed orders well as he walked into our Prague Airbnb with only a backpack of clothes and a cooler of American beer. With one additional full grown adult male and two extra gear bags, we are going to have to go back to the drawing board in packing our trunk, but we’re confident it will work.
While Dan may be a bit jet lagged, the rest of the crew is eager to hit the town and explore some of Prague’s bars with other ralliers. Hopefully Dan, the self-proclaimed international air travel extraordinaire who’s “literally immune to jet lag”, can join the crew at the bars.
Oh, also did we mention we hit Prague today? Having written about several other Central European towns with historical importance and beautiful city landscapes, we’ll save you the write up and just share some photos below. In short, Prague is sick - do go there if you’re in Czechia next time. Tomorrow brings perhaps the most anticipated part of the rally, the official start party. It’s hosted at Junktown, a fair grounds crossed with a post apocalyptic fall out zone, check it out on Google to read more about it. Expect a hungover blog post Monday detailing that evening’s debauchery. -FWY
