4th Day of Bad Weather

It's now the 4th day in a row with bad weather. We are optimistically looking at every small break in the clouds for a possibility of flying but the airfield is too soggy to drive on anyway. Most of the Aussie team has now arrived - before any of the other teams. Meanwhile we are starting to suffer from cabin fever. On the bright side I did manage to get through last night's dinner without the waitress pouring a litre of beer over me.

Here's a photo I took while thermalling over Bojnice Castle in sunnier times. This castle is on a hill 1 km from the aerodrome and is one of Slovakia's biggest tourist attractions. The main street of Bojnice is lined with lots of great restaurants.
