Vranov to Telc

Multiple trips today – bus/train/train/bus/train – but the end result is Telc (Telch), one of the highlights so far of the trip. The trains are often one carriage and the train stations look as if they are no longer operational but at each stop out comes the station master and often a second person too. They are really cute. The town square an absolute confection of different coloured houses. The second building photo includes our hotel - the pale green one. Our room looked out the back over the water and not the square. The other buildings are of the town square - hard to capture the impact of these ornate coloured buildings surrounding the square. The setting is a small peninsula surrounded by lakes (‘ponds’) created as both defence and fish farm. We’ve decided to have a rest day today and next, and this is a fabulous place to have it. Took an early morning walk and got some outstanding reflections along the way. Sun is up very early here and not dark till late either! Again, hardly any tourists here, especially after 5pm, when people have finished work and tourists have got back in their cars to go somewhere else. There’s a lot of sunlight in the day (say 5.30 to 9.30pm) so we are sitting in the square just chilling out and feeling like there’s not many better places to be!
