June 12, 1930

We got up early and left Berlin. For a long time we rode on nicely. The worst part was keeping on the right roads. We passed many small towns. We also rode through Dresden. We had very nice weather all the way. We stopped once at Königstein to get something to eat. Here I saw an ancient castle. It was situated on a hill. We hadn't time enough to go to see it as we wanted to reach Prague yet. As we passed the borderline of Germany into Czechoslovakia we had to wait about an hr. and a half before we could go on. Then, we got into some terrible roads. They were more like alleys. Czechoslovakia is nothing more than hills and mountains. I did not like it there very well. We had a little trouble when our machine stalled on a hill, but it was soon fixed again. We also crossed the Elbe River. The people from all around go in bathing here. Late at night we got in Prague. Here we found a hotel where we spent the night. It was one of these old-fashioned hotels.
