25th SEP 2011 : JIHLAVA to PRAGUE

Well, it’s the final trip! I liked JIHLAVA but was ready to complete the WAVE! To be 100% that I would get to the finish I would have to do some “plug hunting” and make a quick pit stop to charge the battery pack. I only needed 20 mins of extra energy to make sure I would make it!
24th Sep 2011 BRNO to JILHAVA

This town has magical qualities. Don’t know what it is.. but it has it. It was also well worth keeping on the back roads. First again! Even Horace enjoyed the trip for some reason? I did a little search on google and found that the The city’s German name, Iglau, is derived from the German word for hedgehog, Igel, hence the hedgehog on the coat of arms!!!! MAD! also I am a leo! 🙂 Take a look at the following coat of arms link
SEP 22nd 2011: KIRCHDORF to ST.POLTEN

Long trip, remember almost running out of power! Ended up charging at Nissan half way, thanks guys, and then dropped into a paper factory making the Harry Potter paper for the new book! Last charge was a motorcycle shop before dinner at the local Nuclear Power station. Missed out on the Nuclear Power Station tour, but in a way I am glad.. 🙂 Want to keep my hair!
