I admit to doing something that I don't normally do, and don't enjoy.
I went into a swimming pool.
It was the hotel pool and we had it to ourselves, so there was no one there to judge my attempts at flotation or giggle at my midriff.
And I was trapped in a tiny dark room where I was nearly cooked, and another where I was nearly crisped.
I escaped.
After a lie down we walked back to the square (we did get dressed first), but this time we avoided the stairs by using the shopping centre escalators.
We invested in a jar of coffee (at not-Costa prices) and I did a drawing of the 'big square' (which is exactly 100m on each side).
After that it was a case of sitting and watching the world go by for the rest of the afternoon.
I did get itchy pants and go for a bit of a walk on my own into the un-touristy parts - which felt perfectly safe.
The other walk I went on was to buy a slice of sign language cold pizza.
The bakers's shop didn't do English, but I got what I wanted, and we shared my spoils, all €4.50 of it!
When the sun got too hot we went down to the park near our hotel and watched the children playing.
I did a bit of Art History interpretation on a splendid sculpture of a Slovak partisan liberating the town in 1945 - I reckon there's more to it than meets the eye (but then the CSSK secret police would have locked me up for having dissident views!)

It's just about feeding time, and we're going to eat in the hotel again - it's easy, decent and not too badly priced.
It's a train day tomorrow - with a change of trains in Olomouc to get to Brno in Czechia, over the border
