Thankfully, though, there's not much left. After the tour of old town on Saturday, I was pretty bushed. Lots of walking, plus lots of info, and the overwhelming oldness of it all had taken it's toll on me.
However.
Rest is for the dead. Therefore I went out with some people, and we found that there was a festival happening near the pension. We went there for dinner, and grabbing some pizza to go (Americans that we are) we popped into the Wine Festival. As you can imagine, there was a great deal of wine. But there were other attractions, such as a glass craftsman. He had a kiln and everything there, and would create then destroy wonderful pieces of glass work right before your eyes.
We watched him work for a long time, creating glasses, mugs, and bowls with great skill. It was fascinating. There was also a band, playing an incredibly alluring mixture of slavic dance and 50's diner swing music. I wish they had had a CD or something, but I didn't find their name.
Sunday was a very relaxed day, as there was nothing official planned, and everyone was allowed to go where they pleased, and do as they pleased. I woke up blissfully late, and found the Pension empty, except for my roommate Rob. So, we struck out into the day, which was hotter than expected. We took a train to old town, and promptly became lost.
We had the whole day to try and figure out where we were, so we weren't worried. There's also a land mark in town, that I'll talk about in a later post, that is so distinctive I doubt I could ever be lost for long.
We saw some really interesting things, from statues to towers, and I've included pictures of them below.
