a beer for me
or arrival w. cured ham this may well be the shortest blog (by me) in history. Got bus from Karlovy Vary to Plzn/Pilsen as said before – this took about less than 2 hrs. Hotel close to bus station – and had one of those open faced sandwiches for about 90cents at the station – such good value/idea. The town of Plzn proved to be rather boring – and I thought the characters wandering the streets often seemed a little ‘chancy’ so you had to keep an eye out. Scoped out where the station was – along Amerika avenue – Gen. Patton and the Yanks liberated this place at end of WW2 so I guess that is why – there is a Patton memorial here somewhere. Otherwise not much to report. Had a cheap dinner – no cards ttaken so used my last 200kr cash – a cash machine around the corner supplied more. Took a lucky dip on a Czech white wine – it was not as bad as retsina so must have been OK! The Great Synagogue just around the corner more or less proved to be closed on both 8 and 9 June – it is the 3rd largest in the world after
one in Israel and Budapest – so a snap of outside will have to do. Due to lack of interest pix mostly then is your lot.
