Today was a short but
very pleasant walk on well surfaced cycle track almost all the way from
Podebrady to Nymburk. It was nice and cool as we left Podebrady but it very
soon warmed up. However as we used the path on the N side of the river we were
able to make use of shade from trees on the river bank. With a walk of only
10km we arrived in Nymburk well before our pension nomally takes in guests
(14:00) and so we stopped for a liquid lunch followed by a little sightseeing.
We took our evening
meal in the town square at a pizzeria. We now know what calzone means - "a
Cornish Pizza?" It came as a bit of a surprise as I was expecting a flat
pizza but I will definitely order one again. It was very good.
Shiel ordered a salad
from the Czech menu, we thought salad was a safe bet. The bacon bit went down a
treat but the liver put a bit of a damper on things! Note to self - must learn
Czech for liver, kidneys and, for a worst case scenario, tripe.
The red wine I ordered
was also a mistake, worse even than Shiel and some of her friends are prepared
to drink!!! It was supposed to be a merlot. Well it wasn't like a New Zealand
merlot or even an Aussie one. :)
However as we only
paid NZ$33, including tip, for 3 x250ml glasses of wine, an espresso, and two
main meals you can't expect perfection.
