Holiday Inn Brno Hotel

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 ...

There was time to kill before our tour of the cave. There are a number of caves in the area with different attributes. One has fine stalagnates, another a collection of cave bear skeletons and a third some evidence of habitation. I would like to see them all, one day, but I could imagine the youngest kids' response to more than one cave viewing in a day.<br><br>Instead we went to a small windmill in Rudice, which served as a tiny museum. It was pleasing to the eye from the ...

... had come over so we visited the tourist office and went for a quick wander before heading for a camp ground. It was quiet a nice town but it didn't have anything special about it. The camp site we stayed at was in the middle of nowhere on the road to Prague. We chose it basically because it had washing facilities and we really need to do a load. We got excited when they said they had internet, and then disappointed when our ...

... how many times I've been somewhere and someone finds out you're american and starts talking about the presidential race and policies. Europe is also VERY multilingual, which is something the states definitely is not. 2. Public transportation. Let's face it, they are way ahead of us in this area. Trams, buses, trains. You can travel all over the place for a reasonable prices. I don't think I would own a car if I lived here, even if I had the money. 3 ...

... and went direct to her place, talking with her flatmates and relaxed while receiving a little food, tea, natural healthy products and KLEENEX! It's a rough moment though with this cold! All my energy are gone! ---------- January 30 My cold is still killing me, but to get healthy we all go together to a Vegeterian restaurant in town having a wonderful meal for really cheap. Then we walk further and Zuzana need to go to work and her ...

... well. They facilitated a wonderful time, and then thanked me for it. Perfect. Anyway, so the next day we spent mostly at the apartment, hanging out and looking at a story on Czechoslovakia in a National Geographic from February, 1968, just months before Russia invaded Czechoslovakia. It was very interesting. Other very interesting things I did in Ostrava/Hlucin included: going to the town hall/observational tower in Ostrava and looking at the city from an aerial ...

... write more. There are a few places that have air conditioning here, but not the dorms unfortunately. Some places claim to have air conditioning but it doesn't feel like it (the classrooms). There is a breeze today which is great unless you're indoors like I am now. The British guy Simon is quite amusing at times. All the British people are so British. For example, they say they're feeling "peckish" when they're a little hungry. Doesn't sound good to me. But whatever, as ...

... into the night. The highlight of Cesky Krumlov must have been tubing down the river, and as far as I can tell I have yet to have a tubing story that ends well. This time the story goes as follows: The hostel had some innertubes available for guest use, and since it was a hot day I wanted to go play on the river. The river essentially does a loop around town which means you can float down the river and get off at practically the same point at which you got on. OK, cool. So I put ...
