Exploring Tábor
We still don’t have our little old orange Skoda, so we’re unable to reach Novy Mlyn. M has too much work to go over on the bus, and the bus doesn’t go there at the weekend. Hopefully by the end of the week we’ll either have bought a car, or M will be able to take a day off (so that we can catch the bus at 5.30 am!!!).
M had a couple of hours off work on Sunday & we went for a walk round Tábor. It’s an incredibly pretty town, on a hill almost totally
surrounded by water - the river around the south side and a large lake on the north side. Sunday was beautifully sunny & the sky was intensely blue. The trees are still in their skeletal form, though I saw the first katkins of the year. Spring is definitely here!
We had lunch in a chance find restaurant, it had the most amazing furniture I’ve seen so far since we’ve been here - traditional joinery methods but utilising the natural shapes of the wood, but with a sculptural style overall. The room had vaulted ceilings & hand made wrought iron fittings. The food was fantastic (yet again) . I had fresh trout & M ate boar steaks. You’d have to be in line to the throne to eat like that in the UK! Read the rest of this entry »
