Raciborz to Fulnek, and Fulnek to Vsetin
Soon crossed the border, the only problem being the border was into the Czech Republic, which has its own currency, not Slovakia, which I thought I was going into and which is in the Euro. So I had to cycle quite a few miles to bigger town which had cash machine. Weather starting to get a lot warmer, and what with the wind being against me and it being very hilly terrain, I was very pleased to find brilliant cheap pension in Fulnek. Sandra, the receptionist told me how bad things are in Czech Republic. People are lucky to get a job at £2 per hour, and while it is cheaper here, it's not that much cheaper. Left Fulnek thinking it would be another difficult day, and whilst the wind was against me, it was cloudy - a bit cooler and not nearly so hilly. The Pension I'm staying in tonight has its own micro brewery - needless to say, had to sample marvellous beer. And so to bed!

Cycles into the wrong country, into a strong headwind up a hill but still manages to land in a micro brewery!! So you can organise the proverbial in a brewery!! Blad very jealous
ReplyDeleteThis morning Saturday is brilliant sunshine here in the Welsh Borders/Wye valley. It looks as if we will get some of your warmer weather this weekend. Still pushing on with the building, patio wall in stone this week, but wishing we could be along with you. It sounds all quite amazing but having a conversation and pronouncing the place names would be a struggle. Glad to report we also have marvellous beer here at The Tram which I could do with some help in consuming. We have also found another great pub with its own micro breweery in a nearby village to take you to when we get together again.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good pedaling!!!
