The Eurostar a superb aircraft? Nah! Just arrived in Ceske Budejovice, home of Budweiser, after flying 748m in 4 legs at an average of 104mph and 14lph. :-)
So what, PW? The aerodrome is perhaps not the most enjoyable of the country (do I recall right it is an old military air base they are now trying to convert into a kind of local Biggin Hill with lots of security and all that?) but the speed and fuel burn seem quite ok so no complaints about the plane. Or could you have wished for more fuel capacity so that three or even two legs would have done it?
(excuse me if I missed some pun between your lines).

One stop for customs, another for lunch. Range is determined by bladder, not fuel tank. No security at LKCS and if I had wanted two I could have parked in one of those enormous cold war hangars, which you can practically fly into with a microlight. Old town is very pleasant, hotels and restaurants are cheap and the beer is good. What else is required as an excuse to fly somewhere different?
