Continental Breakfast.

Czech breakfast is no better..... being stared at by several hungry sting rays while trying to eat is more off putting than a builder clearing the tables or a look-alike of Vince Vaughn miserably serving at the bar (made even more miserable by one of what we are now terming Tom's "moments")

The man who offerred to "big willy suck" last night seems to have followed us back to our hotel, outside of which he now permanently camps in the bus shelter. Hmm. Expect our wills uploaded shortly. Or a video of Tom running away from a man in a long coat - we are tempted to use him as bait....Jamie is too fat and Jono too vain to tickle his fancy.

We are tempted by the 30 degree heat and stunning village to go and have a proper look around....of course Jamie is currently asleep, returning to bed after breakfast, and so we will wait for him to rise from his coma. Meeting with Rolf at 2.30. Taking the princess to the brewery beforehand (under Rolf's orders) to be loaded with several crates of Czech Republic's finest beer - 'Zatec Blue'. mmmmm

This is some of the very stuff being fermented..... what you cannot see in the picture is the layer of ammonia just above the surface of the foam....pungent.

The outside of Rolf's palace. 8.5 acre site overlooking the river from which he draws the water to make the beer. The brewery first brewed beer in 1004 AD, the original building being a castle...only a small section of that remains.

a note to leave this morning's blog on:

J, T, J.
