Breakfast on the balcony overlooking cherry trees with hymns from the church not 10 metres away - what a way to start our day of rest. The dog and cat joined us for bread, cheese and salami, strong coffee, juice, tiny pots of yoghurt with fresh strawberries and cherry slice. The animals skipped the coffee.
Telc is a town with a main 'square' and fancy facaded houses and shop fronts, all different and colourful, ornate and quirky, with spires from churches on the three points of the cobbled meeting area.
There are ancient carriageways and tall clock towers. Either side of the town has water - a river and a lake.
Courtyards are adorned with sculptures, arched corridors and elaborate metalwork. The town beyond the square is suburban, reliant on convenience and modern pragmatism rather than the wealth and display of old family fortunes and kingly endowment.
Rain hampered attempts to walk the next part of the forest trail, and it is our Sunday.
we wandered down for lunch at a restaurant for authentic food. Richard is wondering how he will cope for the rest of the trip.
The shop in suburbia's grocery bill was $5 for half a pineapple, tomatoes, 4 bread rolls, 2 bananas, a packet of biscuits, a packet of chips, a packet of peanuts, a cucumber, a packet of smarties and a packet of cheese.
The rain set in so we spent the rest of the day reading, drawing, resting and looking out onto the markets and activity below us in the square.

A shame to miss the rest of your forest walk. But it's not bad to rest occasionally :)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to go to the Baptist Church right next door for morning service, but Patricia served breakfast at that time and was quite prescriptive, so we just had to listen to the singing and eat bread and jam to the sound of bells.
