Blogging Zlí­n: Part 5

So, we woke up about 8:30 am after a very restful night’s sleep. We had arranged for Hanna to make breakfast for us at 9 and, once again, were not disappointed: scrambled eggs, sausage, waffles, yogurt, fresh bread with butter, jam and honey and fresh orange juice and coffee. After breakfast we took a nap (jet lag).

In the afternoon we drove to Tesco for some shopping. Actually, Cindy shopped and I sat in the café. After shopping, Cindy joined me for coffee (and we still had a few dollars left in the bank, if you can believe that! ;-). Before we left we picked up some more fresh bread and cheese to snack on later.

Dinner this evening was at the Sunflower Restaurant (pictured), we had Chateaubriand with fresh vegetables and parsley potatoes. Delicious! We also enjoyed a couple of Pilsner Urquells on tap. We were too full for desert, which is regrettable because the deserts here are amazing!

This evening there was a wedding reception in the Bar Uno on the bottom floor of the hotel. Hannah invited us down for drinks, but we didn’t feel right about crashing the reception. The noise was tolerable and the party was over by 11:00 pm. The last time we stayed here there was a party that lasted until almost 3 in the morning and our room was right above the bar! We complained to Hannah who was very apologetic and quite accommodating (I believe she genuinely felt bad–she didn’t charge us for the night and gave us a nice bottle of Czech wine when we left). In fact, she remembered us from our last visit and gave us a key for a room on the top floor so we can sleep if the noise from the wedding reception got to be too much.
