Krizkovskeho 49, (annex of Hotel Voronez) Brno, Moravia, Czech Republic, 60373, 543-142-020
Well have arrived at last in Brno, Czech Republic after a 2 and half hour train ride. Again the train trip was pleasant and went very fast. We got a taxi to our motel, cost about 4 dollars in Aud. The hotel is very nice, located out of the city but close to public transport. Will most likely have a meal here in the restaurant tonite and then use all day tomorrow to explore the city of Brno
Brno, Czech Republic scottik38Well breakfast was nice, good selection of cheese, hams, spicy sausage plus the usual salads, soups and cereals. I went adventurous and took some of the scrambled egg and spicy sausage. Will see today if I suffer from it or not. Weather is overcast again, it rained during the night, we want to go down to the old part of the city today and check out some of the old churches here, one in particular has a crypt with bodies from the late 17th century still mummified in it. Tried to upload the fot...

... son into the abyss. Caught on a branch, he survived to tell the tale. Macocha, in fear of retribution, jumped into the abyss herself and was killed. Seriously, no-one could survive that drop. This is where the gorge gets its name.
We re-entered the tunnels and descended to the River Punkva. Flat boats picked us up and transported us through the labyrinth of underground tunnels. We ...
... to understand it. The gist of the story was:
The area is riddled with holes, which animals can fall down into the cave system. One day a woman walked out to work on her land, but forgot the stake to tie her goat to. So, she tied the goat to the sail of the windmill and walked back to get the stake. The wind blew and the windmill turned and the goat got hung. Not to dwell on tragedy, they ate the goat.
I didn't quite get the joke, but you could buy drawings of ...
... running up and down yelling or anything. Just being kids. How I am supposed to keep 9 and 6 year old twins absolutely quiet and still, I don´t know. (Answers on a postcard, please).
The only other option was to go out for the evening. We went and walked round the lake in the rain for three hours instead. On a sunnier evening, we could have gone swimming in the lake. There were slides on the side that deposit swimmers straight into the ...
... and "contacts". We drank a delicious home brew called Starobrno, which Milosh kept on ordering to the table. His friend ordered us rounds of shots of god knows what and before you know it we were all having a merry time. Our initial fears of being robbed or scammed were quickly forgotten when Milosh paid for nearly every beer we drank. Johnny and I found Milosh to be quite the humorous guy, with some exceptionally funny broken English jokes/quotes. Here is just a ...
Brno, Moravia, Czech Republic durnadupa... thinking about studying abroad: 1. DO IT 2. Talk to anyone who will talk back. I can't tell you how many random people that I have had awesome conversations with. It's amazing meeting people from all over the world, and realizing quickly that you know nothing about the world. Haha and trust me, you realize it pretty quickly! Anyways I will post something in Spain if I get the chance. Josh
Brno, Czech Republic jneilosuA las 4am me fui de lo de maxi porque el avion salia a las 7am. Llegue a BRNO, gracias a un checo que me dijo como tres veces: "Tu BRNO?", porque yo estaba escuchando musica y mirando los monitores pero el embarque lo cambiaron de puerta y nunca actualizaron los monitores. Fue mi primer ciudad en donde no entendia nada. En Francia también me paso, pero aca era nada de nada. Igual por suerte el tema del ingles ayudo ...
Brno, Czech Republic mescalito... we watched a documentary movie about girls and Cosmo and how some people are obsessed with cosmetics, plastic surgery, weight and body form and so forth. It was a little dull to me, but okay. They showed a lady getting implant surgery and it was gory. I think the reason they made a documentary about this phenomenon is because it's relatively new over here, whereas back home, it's old news. I want to share the dancing experience I had two days ago but words are not a ...
Olomouc, Czech Republic buchta... our "suite" (in the room next to ours) is a Englishman who is around 45 I would guess. I don't know how much Czech he speaks. I think it's really interesting to find out why people are learning Czech. I thought it was more odd for people from Spain or Italy to be here learning Czech but they pointed out that they are all members of the EU so I guess that makes them similar. In regards to the Middle Eastern problems, it hasn't ...
