Laura The way you have moved through these countries been remarkable and each city visited, has held a modern and old of history .....remarkably displayed in it's architecture and modern culture..... there passed, can not be hidden .....and should not be denied.....a window into a shameful history and hope for an aspiring future......

Laura Well, the Motor GP is done and dusted for this year, and a cloud of uncertainty is hanging of the venue for next year..... one blessing for this year is there were no fatalities .....and as for dealing with the custom of attitude ..... you just can't change what is .....

Laura You.....would not need to be there, to feel the frustration of the writer....whoever....there are goods days ....great days.... and just plain ordinary days.....this was obviously an ordinary day.....What can't be cured , must be endured .......

Laura One would think it was a reasonable thought ....that you could visit Prague many time and still find new places to be amazed by...... .The spirals are many and how they were built is a conundrum.....Riding Motorcycles in the rain is not the best of conditions to ride in ....must be done in time constraints......it is not in my sphere of understanding that Cannabis can be bought legally anywhere.....no doubt part of the New World thinking and not for me to understand.....It is a blessing that a lot more of the precious were not lost in the 2nd Wold War ....

Laura On your bike....off the freeway and travelling through the country side......what a wonderful way to see and get the feel of the places you're traversing through.......A lot of these countries have very disturbing histories ......hopefully never to be repeated....

Christopher Yes the countryside was good viewing. Unlike the Baltic country's Poland is on the European plain so elevations only reach 250m. Poland also has a desert.

Merrilyn You know histroy well. Countryside sounds great too

Laura ------as the writer has said " He lost his life doing what he loved most" reiterated, repeatedly so often in the vain hope it will give comfort to the acute pain the grieving that is felt at this time......as Christopher has said "We are sure that it will be of no comfort" and at this time time, by reason ....be so .... maybe in time it will be of comfort.....as if these men were not driven by their love of this challenging sport .....it may not have happened.... their legacy may be..... their devotion to what they loved doing .....

Merrilyn You must have done a lot of study of the history. Shame they don't have wider roads

Laura Never have travelled, it is hard to image you can traverse one county to another with such ease .....that these countries are open and welcoming .....so much history and interesting information for the traveller to glean .....
