Loket day

Best of all, a day trip to Loket, about ½ hr drive away. Apparently this was Goethe’s favourite town.

All very medieval. Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) recently played a concert here in front of the castle/river, which somehow seems very appropriate. Town square pretty as a picture. From Loket we walk about 15km back to Karlovy Vary along the Ohre river. Gentle walk along a forested track with some great rock formations along the way. Sat and had a drink and watched a number of rock climbers on the cliffs in the photo. Quite a number of canoes and rafts going down the river as well. LOTS of cyclists all dressed up in their bike pants etc. Nice day’s outing. And so now on to Prague. We’re looking forward to some great sights, great beer and Mary’s hoping to buy clothes and a backpack. Kind of feels like we’ve turned the corner and are heading for home, although a few weeks to go yet.
