Hotel Club Kyjov Brno

... when its less than 2 dollars for a half liter.

Our room was cute and homey, in the attic of a pension with low sloping ceilings that we kept bumping our heads on. It also came with the standard breakfast of the region: cold sliced ham, rolls, and tomato slices. After about our 20th consecutive day of eating variations of this, we decided to start buying fruit for breakfast instead.

... pizza and slept in the University residence where Miroslav lives. The residence was extremely cheap, about 5€ for one night and two people. The following morning, we woke up very early and went to the train station...change of country...Austria was coming next!

... change for everything, but you won't find a change machine ANYWHERE. 3. People- Okay, I'm talking manners/friendliness only, and perhaps some areas of the states are worse than others, but the midwest definitely beats europe. Things Europe wins- 1. Overall knowledge of the world. It's pretty depressing to meet someone from a foreign country who not only knows your language, but also more about what is going on in your home country than you do. I can't tell ...

January 29 After this long hot bus ride, I finally arrived in Brno. Having an evil cold and a head willing to explode... but especially a need to drink every second and therefore to pee as well. I managed a corner to do so. Then not long after I manage to meet with Zuzana (HC: liessa) who will be my host for the coming 2 days until I catch my flight to England from Brno Airport. Then it will be a complete another story. We took the ...

... out to be some of the nicest people I have ever met. They all stood up and shook my hand and smiled, and most of them knew my name before I got there. Buchta- the never ending joke. (In a good way.) Since we had just ate, our attempt to decline food worked, at first. My attempt to pass on the shots had much less success, unfortunately. And, ultimately, they brought us all plates of grilled meat, potato salad and home made pickles. The people all spoke English ...

... parecida com Praga. E quase nao tem turista o que eh legal... Se nao fosse pela distancia eu indicaria a todos dar uma passada por aqui quando visitarem a Rep Checa, mas se o tempo for curto Cesky Krumlov eh bem mais legal. Daqui pegamos mais uma pernada de carro ate Praga. Mais de 4 horas, novamente na maioria do trajeto em rodovias pequenas pelo campo...Mas isso eh assunto para o proximo post.

... concrete or vinyl and in either orange, beige or brown colors. Quite drab and lonely in my single. Other than that, nothing exciting. But then yesterday I arrived at Cesky Krumlov, and that was absolutely amazing. It's a small town with a castle and the requisite stuck-in-time Old Town, really picturesque and nestled in the bend of a river. I stayed at this adorable hostel in a refurbished ancient building with cool people who thoroughly enjoyed playing Kings and other card ...

Short stop in Olomouc where we visited some friends of Jan who were running a mobile phone store. I had met one of his friends already back in March 2005 and when he saw ...

... Sounds hawaiian, yes, but it was reallz good stuff. 5 bucks apiece got us the biggest meal and drinks Ive had since being here. We by the way was me and a long term traveller named anthony from nova scotia. Anthony moved to dublin after college and became a waiter for a year and is now spening the summer travelling before moving to Vancouver. No job lined up, doesn§t know anyone there...just wants to live in vancouver so hes moving there. Thats ...

... in different haloween costumes would jump out of various dark alleys to scare as as we went from one location to the next. It was pretty entertaining actually, not to mention free, so I suppose it was worth it. Final Thoughts on Prague: On a hike up the hills above prague I found a massive metronome...you know one of those things that sits on a piano but this one was 50 feet tall or so. It was built in 1968 on the site of a statue of stalin. The ...
