Fri29Jul16: "Hotel Yasmin", Kosice, Slovakia (rest day)

Forgot to turn off my watch alarm before going to bed last night, so it woke me up at 6:05am.  No trouble dozing until about 8am because this physical body is tired!  When you're moving and cycling every day, there's no indication of any need for a rest, but when that routine ends..... Full stop.
Went downstairs for breakfast after 9am, ate slowly and focussed on the food that we don't normally get at small rural hotel buffets.  Then out for a walk around Kosice, where the nearby Old City was built on a river plain and protected by two large branches of the Hornad River.

A small caffeine lunch of coffee and chocolates with George, then it's back to the hotel to clean the crap off my bicycle, and oil up the chain for our next five days of cycling toward Budapest.  Housekeeping has done my hotel room so I can also string up my clothesline again and do another load of laundry.  With that work out of the way, it's time for another shower, then photos and blog time.
