Friday 50 miles
Hlinsko to Bystrice n. Pernstejnem
Another day cycling on small quiet roads through pine forests, past small villages,up and down hills . I did miss my route at one point it was just so nice cycling along that I missed the turning, but no problems. I went into Zara, a big place but they had a great cycle route along the river. I then visited Lidl, admired the high rise 60’s flats and followed a cycle route back east into the wind and into the hills.
Then along to this town which I reached about 5 pm so a good place to stop.Initially not good -the normal high rise flats on the outskirts and a church but not much of a square.So I had an ice cream then saw a sign to ‘Sports Hotel’. Well, I have a great big room which would sleep 3. Have found a kitchen and kettle and all for just under what I paid last night.(breakfast 8 am).
Not a lot of places to eat but found a sort of community looking cafe which had a pizza oven so ate there. Now who would have thought that this place is in the league for sports capital of the Czech Republic. But, they have great facilities and after my pizza I went into the Aldi supermarket and brought a yogurt for pudding. Now this was just 15 minutes before it shut, when in the UK people would be rushing to buy alcohol and ready meals. Well, the person in front had half a watermelon and some grapes and the woman behind was buying 3 cucumbers a bag of tomatoes and a loaf of wholemeal bread. It just goes to show you never can tell!
