We were woken this morning by the ducks who were sheltering under Henrietta and suddenly decided to have a communal quacking session. It could be described as “good weather for ducks” but even they were fed up with the continual rain.
The weather improved slightly and we decided to walk into Trebon. We walked passed the Regent Brewery (the best brewery in the Czech Republic in my humble opinion) and inspected the menus on a number of restaurants, of which that are a large number in Trebon. We selected a restaurant close to the brewery and had an excellent meal. Jane had pork cooked in Regent beer and I had a selection of fish fillets (3 different fish) served in a piquant sauce. I only found one bone in all of the fillets but Jane managed to find one in the small sample that I gave her. Fish bones always seem to be greatly attracted to Jane.
We then did a tour of Trebon and its shops – Trebon is a lovely town but its shops aren't very interesting. It was then time to call in at what we English would call the 'brewery tap' the pub, or in this case beer cellar, attached to the brewery. We had been there once before (see entry for 28th September 2007) when we met a cycling couple. It was busy then and it was busy now – we had problems finding a free table but found one in the 'no smoking' area. I tried the 13° brew but that was a little too sweet for me but the 12° was excellent. The total bill (68kc, less than £2) for 2 x 0.5l + 2 x 0.3l came to less than a single pint would cost in an English pub. We resisted the temptation to stay to watch the musicians who were just setting up (free music as well!) and walked back past one fishing lake to Henrietta on the shores of another.
