My name is Brian Cox
but most people know me as the travel vlogger.
I'm always in search of extraordinary experiences,
and on this adventure
I'll be biking over 700 kilometers
across the Czech Republic.
Come with me to see what makes this destination
so special.
Today we slept in,
but around noon it was time to meet a new cycler.
How is it going? I’m Brian.
Hi, I am Daniel.
Nice to meet you.
I will be guiding you today
to Prague for Mělník.
Perfect!
But…is this your bike?
Ya sure, that’s the perfect bike
for this section.
Oh man! This is going to be an adventure!
Because of the time
We should grab something to eat.
I’m always ready to eat, so I followed Daniel
to a local restaurant
to get some fuel for the journey ahead.
I ordered a nice light meal of salmon and veggies,
while Garrett chose the a gnocchi.
Good, but I'm gonna regret this.
Now it was time to start the riding towards Prague.
So we rode out of Mělník
and joined up with cycling route
To head to our first stop, the Veltrusy Chateau.
We were fortunate to be riding
in such amazing weather.
So far the weather
for the entire journey has been spectacular.
Daniel noticed how packed our bikes were
and decided that the best way
to cross the river was by local ferry.
Since the bridges required carrying
our loaded bikes up stairs,
this was a great way to cross.
It cost roughly one dollar.
In no time
we were back pedaling towards the chateau.
I was starting to regret teasing Daniel
for riding the folding bike.
Since, he was riding a feverish pace.
it wasn’t long before
Garrett had to stop and let his gnocchi settle.
So we got to our first stop,
we are at the Veltrusy Chateau
and we’re going to take a little walk around,
see some of the rooms.
But I am looking forward to taking this break.
We rode about 15-20 kilometeres,
check the chateau out and then
we’ll get back on the road.
We took a quick tour
learning a little bit more about
this 18th century baroque chateau
and it’s former owners, the Chotek family.
We jumped back on our bikes
and started riding towards Prague.
I kept waiting for Daniel to slow down,
But he just kept on charging forward.
Being the Americans we were,
Neither Garrett nor I wanted to ask
Daniel to take it easy.
Nor did we want to accept defeat
From a folding bike.
Along the way we came up to this really cool bridge
So we decided to stop for a quick photo shoot.
As we got closer to Prague
the paths started to have a lot more people.
And we would pass some
interesting recreation opportunities.
In no time we were in the heart
of one of Europe’s most popular cities.
Hey Daniel, thanks so much!
I had a great day!
Thanks for showing us around.
Thanks for riding with me,
And have a great journey
In the rest of the Czech Republic.
Perfect! Thanks again. Safe travels.
And I have one advice for Brian.
In Czech, “na koně”!
Get on the horse and keep riding.
As you can see we made it to Prague,
And we just checked in to Sir Toby’s Hostel.
I’m going to need to put the bikes up,
take a shower and go to bed.
So unfortunately, this is the end of todays video.
