Arte Brno

I'm actually typing this between Prague and Brno, but I will change buses a Brno, and head towards Vienna from there...<br><br>I love internet on buses, but this one isn't that great, and cuts out pretty often...<br>I'll bein Vienna around 3:30pm this afternoon<br><br>word.<br>

The queue for tickets snaked out of the door. We seemed to be behind a German biker gang, all keen to see the caves too. The cable car down to the entrance drops precipitously. It is far scarier than the one in Zakopane, because it is so steep. <br><br>We had to wait for the tour to start. I bought Mel a green adventurine elephant for his collection. I also worked out why Eartha has started ...

... built in the Dutch style with a rotating top so the sails can always face the wind. <br><br>The old guy serving was friendly and gave me a photostat of information about the windmill, which I was encouraged to read out loud to the children. This I duly did and they sat through it uncomplainingly. On the back was a story marked "Humour" which I can only assume is a true story or some local legend. It had clearly been translated by someone not all that good at English, and I ...

POLSKI: W nocy dojechalismy do miejscowosci Hely (?) i tam nocowalismy na pobliskiej lace. Rano przeszlismy chyba najdluzszy odcinek do jak tej pory z plecakami, na autostrade - ze 4 km. Stamtad zabral nas... ksiadz - Polak, na stale mieszkajacy w Austrii. Dowiozl nas na przedmie&#347;cia Brna chyba w 40 minut (prowadzil jak rajdowiec) i wysadzil w poblizu hipermarketu Hypernova. Gdy po pol godzinie nic nie zlapalismy i zaczal padac deszcz ...

Every morning around 4:30 a congregation of loud, annoying, stupid little songbirds begin their destruction of my sleep via chirp, chirp, whistle, etc. I remember when I was a kid there was this bird that would come every morning and sit by my window and wake me up. I hated that bird. Well, I think he sent an army of his European brethren to make sure I don't ...

... beauty - was still there but leaving, so we said good-bye with kisses. At four-thirty, Kamila still wanted me to join her for a vodka. Jirka didn't enjoy himself and stooped over us. She spoke about signs of the zodiac; that we're both Scorpio's, and that means we're "dominantni". (Between you and me, many Czech girls are a bit despotic - treating men like pets.) Bulldog-headed, Czech-bar-loving, good-guy Pet'a Bem came with Pat'a (Patrick) and ...

... from busy cities. Found a nice lake and a good pub to have lunch in, and let me tell you that the cycle back was a hell of a lot slower going back after that. Went and saw my first Ice Hockey game. I am sad to report that the local team went down 3-1, but one of the other guys from the hostel managed to get himself on the ice for the half time competition and won a hockey jersey. We celebrated that with a trip to the Aeroplane Bar. As the name suggests, it is a bar in an ...

... back from Veronika yet, I emailed her three days ago I think. I really hope we can get together before I go back. And I haven't heard from Jaromir from the train yet either, I think he gets back soon. So I will probably write from Prague this weekend, maybe it will be exciting. I would like to use the computer at the Lunik hotel but I won't know any guests so I don't think I will try. But the receptionist was really nice (and cute) so maybe I will go visit her. :) We'll see.

... Cesky Krumlov, Brno is about exactly halfway . Not much to say bout this place, apparently they have a moto GP here, as per the brochure in the highway-side camping ground we stayed at. We had a few 50c beers at the bar in the camp-site and toddled off to bed.

... there are classes of 15 people. The course is going to be pretty intense. Like 7 hours a day or something. Ugh. But I am glad because I really don't know Czech as well as it may seem to people. I mean I do okay but that's because most of communication isn't from what's said. Anyway, after this course is over, I should be ready to decide if I will come back and teach English to ...
