“Pleasurable Loneliness! You are the quietness, my silent breast so long has sought.”

After my mid-trip break, it is time to continue and complete the trip I have chosen.

Sven Funck

Sven, studying economics at the university in Linz, Austria, escorted me through his father’s company giving me an excellent overview as to how Rosskopf & Partner manufacture their products.

Cheb (formerly Eger) in Bohemia - the Czech Republic

On the right is the city marketplace in Cheb.
 For a complete meal here I paid 5 Euros. Since I exchanged 25 Euros for Czech crowns (korun Ceských), I’m not certain what I will do with the rest. I will return to the Czech Republic on Sunday - perhaps a relaxing massage. :-))
