Starobrno Beer and a Czech Army Colonel
... suburbs of Brno by this point. The lady who was checking us in was quite possibly the friendliest person we had met in Czech Republic thus far, it was a shame that we couldn't communicate with her at all. After checking in and putting our ...
You Are Almost as Friendly as the Czech People
Frankly, Johnny and I could not wait to leave the Czech Republic; we had nothing but problems in this country and the people were unhelpful and unfriendly for the most part. On our last day in Brno we decided to go sightseeing and managed to see all ...
The Sound of Sokolnice, Southern Moravia
... ' smirks melt into smiles as they reach their parents and begin to dance more naturally. The crowd joins in, young, old, Czech, American in dresses and suits to enjoy one another's company, and community which is a vital survival skill practiced to ...
Going underground
... But I got there anyway. To be honest, there isn't a lot to Brno. It's not as pretty as Olomouc but it is in the Czech Republic so it has good beer and sometimes that is all that matters. One interesting thing I did get to see was some mummified bodies. ...
Morarvian Karst
... I would manage to master the underground, but by creating phonetic sounds for words I couldn't read, I was able to get by. Czech might not be as complex, but I still have trouble expressing destinations, bus stops and the like. I sound like an ...
Travel snob
I've changed to Hostel Mitte in the centre of town today with the express intention of visiting some wonderful caves and scenery in the Czech countryside. As this is a fair distance outside the city, I've arrived too late to go, so change my plans ...
We arrived in Brno....
... The shower is very strange, and the sink is right in there with you. But, it for 180 a month, it isn't bad at all. Brno itself is beautiful. There isn't a lot to do, but the architecture is awesome and the people are friendly. And it's about half ...
Our weekend in Brno!
... of beef, bread and sauce with a vegetable type soup as an appetizer. It was incredibly good. Keeping in Czech tradition, we had coffee with some "flavoring" added just for good measure. Apparently, that wasn't enough and we were given a ...
Brno
... packets of dry biscuits and cream cheese from the plane trip we couldn't fit in at the time. Katherine laughed at us keeping them, a very Czech ( or at least a very Dad ) thing to do ! We had them and a banana as a real treat. Going to the toilet ...
On and on and on
... . Liever kiezen ze voor veilige top 40 danstenten en ja, dan ga je mee. Of je kiest één van de vele bruine kroegen die Brno telt. In elke straat kun je wel terecht voor een mooi of een speciaal of een uniek biertje. Want er zijn ook enkele kroegen ...
Train and Rain
... private concert in the basilica which was absolutely amazing. The rains came and it has finally cooled down. Brno is the 2nd largest city in Czech Republic with about 250,000 people. Today we will take a tour of the city. In case you ...
Caves and a Brewery
Hey guys, I am sitting on my bed on a lovely Brno Sunday afternoon. I just got back from the store with my new friend Alaine from Wisconsin, and I am EXHAUSTED! Going to the big grocery store (especially the bigger one that is farther away) ...
An amazing meeting
... become of dad. It all seemed so typically Czech, sitting around her table with a white plastic lace cloth, a plate of Czech biscuits, small glasses with gold rims lined up in the cupboard, colourful Czech plates on the wall, brown coffee cups, ...
Towns and Around
... the owner and figured it out. The first person who can tell me what movie the name is in will get a present from the Czech Republic. But no cheating and looking on the internet! Second order of business: I found a hairstyle worse than a mullet. I ...
Czech mate!
A three-train journey today; Krakow to Katowice, then Katowice across the border to Ostrava (Czech Republic) then a third train on to Brno. All connections went well although we ended up having to get a rail replacement bus service for the last hour of ...
To Prague (Praha) and beyond
... wind. We were dressed for it but I craved a coffee almost immediately. English is spoken more in Prague than in Brno where we are staying. We walked around for most of our time there, occasionally going inside a shop or restaurant just ...
pres Brno
Tak vyrazime s tandemem Zbornik, Honza a Daniela opet na ferraty, tentokrat za Viden. Prespime u nas doma a rano ...
End of Moravia and onto Brno, Cz
... . I left off the blog in Moravia but didn't go into much detail on what we saw. As I said, the countryside of southern Czech is wonderfully verdant and looks fertile, except it was kind of a monoculture of that yellow crop we still haven't identified ...
And they dance!
... and polka from Jan (John) from Olomouc. Czechs learn to dance in school, and Jan happened to travel with a competitive Czech folk dancing troupe, so I was in good hands. I have promised to remember my moves at least until we meet ...
Move sloth!
... So I went home for the Christmass and 4th January I started the second part of my way to Spain. I was going south-west to Brno in Czech Rep. to my host there. The distance was more than 500km and my first plan was to make it during just one day. I ...
Day 10.5 - The Riot
... as all get out, but happy to have her things again. We loaded up the bus again and started heading toward Brno. Soon enough we entered the Czech Republic's 2nd largest city. I desperately needed to find a bathroom as I'd sucked down a bottle of water at ...
Brno
Becsbol egy aranyos lengyel vitt el minket Brnoba, aki meghivott volna minket Krakkoba ugyanis oda ment. Az osztrakok nem egy stoppos barat nep, tobb orai stoppolas utan talaltunk ra, a benzinkutban. Elmondta hogy lengyel magyar jo barat, mi mondtuk, ...
Please forgive me...
... next week, Vienna. Okay this might be harder then I thought. Maybe I should just stop going places. Stay with me folks, I promise I won't abandon you again! Much love from Brno, Annalee ...
Today was totally different!
I didn't get much sleep last night. Went to bed late and woke up early. Grandson woke us up due to a charlie horse maybe around 4 am. I couldn't go back to sleep. Shortly after lunch, Wes decided to see if I could pass a stress ...
