Monday 15th September 2008 – Trebon, Czech Republic



It continued to rain all night, not pouring down, just steady, continuous rain. It rained all day today, which made out short journey to Trebon a very grey one. I always associate the Czech Republic with fish ponds and we had seen these in most of the villages over the last few days. However, during the last half an hour of our journey to Trebon, we came across the huge fish lakes that this area is famous for. They produce a vast quantity of fish mainly carp but also trout, pike and other fresh-water fish. The Trebon campsite is on the shores of one of these lakes and we chose a pitch with a wonderful view over the lake. However is was still raining and the view did not look as good as it did when we first camped here almost exactly a year ago.
Despite the rain, we went for a walk into our favourite town in the Czech Republic. The tourist information office was open and we were able to establish the location of the only WiFi Internet café. After updating the blog and checking emails we continued our walk but Trebon doesn't look quite as attractive in the rain, one reason being that it is difficult to look up at the buildings when you are huddled under a large umbrella. Unfortunately, according to the forecast on the Internet, the weather tomorrow is unlikely to be much better – it showed 100% chance of rain and a maximum temperature of 10°C.
