I recently went on a trip with one of my friends to the Czech Republic. We soon discovered that my handy GPS, which my husband and I call Helga, didn’t work so well in the Czech. Our 5 1/2 hour drive turned into over 8 since for some reason Helga didn’t want to take us on the autobahns. So the second day of our trip we fired Helga and started using my friends GPS…this was a mistake. Her GPS decided that we should go off roading, though we did not know this right away. We were told to turn down a small road, not thinking much of it since many roads in Europe are narrow, we headed on. Slowly the road changed from paved to partially paved to a hard packed dirt road to two paths that you may see in a pasture to eventually no road at all. By the time the road had more or less disappeared it was too late to turn around due to the amount of mud. So we kept on driving and finally made it across a muddy field to the road that GPS was taking us (the whole time the GPS was telling us we were on the right road). Below is a picture of the “road” the GPS decided to take us down.
