Spent the day in spa town Karlovy Vary. Yesterday's sojourn in nearby picturesque village Loket was a good welcome into the country - the small island like fortress town was buzzing with life and out waitress spoke fluent German and English. Today was much hotter - 28°C at its highest. Regular intervals of gusty wind down the Templa River kept us sane while we joined the crowds with our new traditional porcelain mug, sipping the heated mineral water. (A swim in the outdoor thermal pool got us off to a good start though.)
So now we are fully rejuvenated to continue to Prague! That is if you give ice-cream the same qualities as this hideously warm, iron-like water. It tasted like bits of the shiny porcelain were coming off into the water, and what it did to the stone basins it dribbled into isn't exactly good advertising.
