Breakfast in the hotel

Light traffic going out of the city at 8am

Not so beautiful, but nice flat farms. Lots of food being grown! Not many farm animals. No wildlife, even few birds.

Then it got nicer as the hills developed. More trees, pretty valleys.


Comedy of using the payment card in this COOP store. Tap didn't work, but chip worked. Wanted signature, but apparently they had never seen such a thing. A conference of 4 women for about 10 minutes figured it out while one woman who spoke fair English kept me entertained. She had been a nanny in Switzerland to an English speaking family. Left her my card in case she ever gets to come to America.

Gas stop

Lunch under a bridge, no skinny dippers this time

Wind farm

Approaching Ostrava

As I rolled into Ostrava, I spotted a circus tent. Parked and went over to check it out. The box office was staffed, but with zero English to help. However, I did have a conversation with a performer as he entered the tent. I was excited to see that there was a show this evening and tickets were available!

Checked into my Hotel Penzion Start Ostrava

€37

Dinner at Čarodějky na Osmaku before the show
