Vsetin to Trencin, and Trencin to Hlohovec
Left Vsetin in pouring rain, wind against me and pretty much all uphill. I didn't realise how much I had climbed over the last 2 or 3 days until I rounded a bend and pretty much the next 15 miles I was coasting downhill, and as I was coasting downhill, the sun came out and lo and behold the world suddenly looks a lot more beautiful! Walked up to castle in Trencin - quite breathtaking views from top tower. Had a bit of lie-in, Sunday morning, and enjoyed bacon and potatoe omelette for breakfast, and then had one of the hardest days cycling. Pretty flat road, sunny day, but about a force 5 or 6 wind right in my face. Only made about 40 odd miles, but absolutely knackered by the time I reached hotel in Hlohovec.

Hi Pete
ReplyDeleteGood news about the 15 miles of downhill, I like a bit of downhill if you remember. No so good about the wind, thats hard work. Great to be following each day so keep up the posts. I'm looking for an old iron pump for the terrace so if you see one could you pick it up for me and bring it to Lesbos? Don't worry about how I'll get it back from there!........... Burdy and Jools
It's the end of the day now and Jools and I have been talking over supper about the last few days and I know this is nothing about your blog but it's got me giggling and I thought you might appreciate it too. When we were in our new best friends Tim's pub last week he told us about a German who comes into the pub who he promises has a great sense of humour. Apparently this guy has has a moustache tatooed on his finger so that he can do a better Hitler impression!!!! Well if you don't like it I bet Herr Laquer will! Burdy....
