Hotel Myslivna Brno

I'm actually typing this between Prague and Brno, but I will change buses a Brno, and head towards Vienna from there...

I love internet on buses, but this one isn't that great, and cuts out pretty often...
I'll bein Vienna around 3:30pm this afternoon

... maybe 20 minutes by motorboat, winding in and out of flooded caverns and grottos. The cave system stretches for 38km under the hills, though we didn't travel nearly that far. Eventually we saw light at the end of the tunnel and arrived back almost where we had started, some hour or more previously.

There remained only a hairy cable car ascent back up the gorge to where we had left the car.

... built in the Dutch style with a rotating top so the sails can always face the wind.

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 ...

... if anyone goes to Brno their number one priority should be to eat and drink at Selepka's. After gorging ourselves on unhealthy amounts of pork and chicken and drinking ridiculous amounts of Starobrno all three of us were ready to explode. Milosh the Colonel remembered from the previous night that I was Ukrainian, and became convinced that I had to meet his Ukrainian fiancé. Once she arrived she did not come empty ...

So I spent the night in the Girona Airport in Spain. The time actually went by pretty quickly as I read and listened to my ipod. I slept for a couple of hours on the floor with my bags tied to me, which was interesting. Anyways so I go to check in for my flight at 6 a.m., going on about 2 hours of sleep, and already frustrated with this airport (recall my Barcelona trip where I was sent back through security last minute). All I brought on this trip was my guitar and a small ...

We headed back to Brno after Dublin. And stayed there for almost two weeks. It was this stint in Brno that made me swear I would never again spend the weekend there. Due to the dorms, and the living situation, I'd much rather be on the road. As a result, I have every weekend from here out booked. And I couldn't be happier about that.

Past couple of days have been pretty good. Jet lag is kicking my butt, but I'm trying to take care of that tonight by getting in extra early. Yesterday was a free day for us. I went to Cappucin Monastery where I got to see mummified priests. This was a very awkward experience because they were just laying out there, but so well preserved. The priests here made a different type of cappuccino drink that is amazing. I went to the cafe next door and ordered a hot ...

... unforseeable in normal life. I would tell the story but it's really complicated. It's about a single mother who needs to go to a mental health clinic for awhile and has two young boys who have nowhere to go so her neighbor takes them in instead of going to America with her boyfriend. And there's more to it obviously. Today I am leaving to go to Ostrava to spend the weekend at a festival with Ross and Katka at a festival in Hlucin (Katka's ...

... with my suite mate Simon from England and my roommate Enrique from Spain. The British have some seriously hilarious expressions, and they think it's us who talk funny. Haha. Well tomorrow we are going to some Moravian caves nearby, I saw them before. On Tuesday and Thursday nights they show Czech movies. The one on Tuesday was this classic fairytale movie from 1984 called The Devil's Brother-In-Law. It's good, I saw it w/ Veronika. The one we watched last ...

Interestingly enough, this place has nothing to do with either former boxer and mental case pantomime appearing star Frank, nor the former Radion 1 DJ Brookes. We had a brief meander whilst here for a few hours around this big town and visited one of the more gruesome places we've been on our travels. The Cappucin Monastery was sadly lacking hot beverages on offer ...
