well, I've been doing a bit of map staring and I think that we will be scrapping Amsterdam and heading East from Brugge..... head across Germany in a couple of days to the Czech republic, aiming for Prague. We will then see how we are doing for time and how long we fancy staying in the are before deciding where to head next.... maybe dip into Poland and Slovakia before heading back home by a different route... Italy- Switzerland - France possibly..... hmmmm options, options :)

Prague (Praha) is great,you can see most of the sights in a day at a push though I spent a few days 2nd time around & got a much better feel for the place. There is a row of campsites in peoples back gardens (I kid you not,big back gardens) that have good tram access to the main city,follow the signs for the Zoological gardens & you will be in the right area.

NOW YER TALKING.
Poland is the bis.
Great riding around the Poland/Slovac border (and great people)
Good views around Orava Reservior but that may be a bit far for a 10 day trip.
Enjoy:D

Gent (Gand French / Ghent English) is far nicer than Brugge - but I would say that as I live here.... also stop off in Iyper to pay your respects.
Antwerp is a great city ... Dutch coast is OK, inland is very boring, as is Belgium ... if you're coming in and out of Calais, there is a great coast road west of Calais, with plenty of camping.

Always happy to offer camping space (and assistance) if needed.....

Cheers

it's only a few hours ride from brugge into northern germany, monschau, and even the nurburgring are within reach, glorious place

Yes I was in Prague this summer.... however it was the typical 'Britsh lads stag do' :rolleyes2: so most of what i saw was , erm, a little blurry :innocent: will be good to do it properly :)
