Pohodove vstavanie, zbalenie a smer zamok v vranove nad dyji. Pred startom ale este ranajkujeme vcerajsiu veceru. Ohrievame si ju v mikrovlnke a ladujeme sa knedlo,vepro,zelo. Vydatne ranajky Parkujeme na platenom parkovisku (40kc/5hod) pod hradom(velka tabula posledna moznost zaparkovat). Kedze uz neni sezona, straznik nikde, parada free parkink. Na parkovisku je aj dobijacia stanica pre elektrobicykle. To vidim prvy krat v zivote. Od parkoviska je to cca 500m. Najskor ideme kusok po chodniku popri ceste, dalej sa napajame na znacenu lesnu cesticku. Opat dost siroka, stupanie do kopca a sme pred zamkom. Zamok ma pekne upravene vstupne okolie. Okukavame nadvorie, prehliadku neplanujeme, robime fotky a podme ho nazad k autu. Pred vstupom na znackovy lesny chodnik je info tabula. Na klavesnici (podobne ako na bankomate) staci zmacknut cislo a info tabula zacne rozpravat. ... read more

Dnes sme potiahli az do 8/30, zbalenie a smer dedinka Cizov. Cesty nahovno, vsetko rozkopane. Pred Cizovom je zachytne parkovisku, tu sa odstavujeme a ide sa pesibusom k pozostatkom zeleznej opony. Dnes to vyzera na dalsi slnecny a horky den. Este,ze pojdem cez les a popri vode, kde je chladnejsie. Prichadzame k plotu z ostnateho drotu, pred nim su betonove ihlany. Predstavoval som si to mohutnejsie. Skoro pri konci je strazna veza. Presuvame sa k nej po asfaltke, splham sa hore ale je zamknuta. Skoda, mohol byt odtial fajn vyhlad. Vcera nam sprievodca povedal aj dost veci o zeleznej opone. Mimo ine sa testoval novy druh psov. Vlciak krizeny s vlkom,mal z toho vzniknut poslusny zabijak, ktory mal likvidovat ludi co chceli utiect/vniknut na nase uzemie. Tento projekt ale nezozal uspech,bo krizenci vobec neposluchali svojich panov. ... read more

Do rana nas znojemaci z podzemia neuskrtili a tak sa moze o 7/10 zacat moja priprava na cca 7,5 hod turu. V noci sa mi moc dobre nespalo, najskor sa ozval pravy a neskor aj lavy reprak. V jednu chvilu som mal dokonca stereo. Chrapaci jedni, este ,ze ja nechrapem :) Do maleho batohu som napratal vodu, jedlo a smer dalsie ubytko v dedinke Lukov. Povodne som mal v plane absolvovat trasu po zltej od priehrady ale zmena ubytka v Znojme zmenila aj moje plany. Startujem po zelenej znacke, s tym ,ze sa napojim na cervenu v Koniciach, za nimi opat presedlam na zelenu, ktora ma povedie az k seasfieldovmu kamenu. Tu opat zmenim farbu, tentoraz na zltu. Pod Sobesom dalsia zmena farby na modru, u Pusteho rybniku zasa cervena, na Prickach zmena na zelenu, ktora ... read more

Rano presne na cas o 8/00 ma prichadza vyzdvihnut mami spolu s miriam. Po nahliadnuti do kufra zistujem, ze mam najmensiu batozinu (neskor som sa dokazal zbalit do igelitky). Sadam za volant a ide sa smer Morava. Ideme priemerne 90km/hod, neni treba sa ponahlat, miriam mi ukazuje ako nastavim tempomat a frci sa. Cesta po dialnici po odpocivadlo Sekule v pohode. I ked na moste Lafranconi mensie zdrzanie, kvoli oprave vozovke. Na odpocivadle posadka testuje zachody na pumpe. Je tu strasna kopa ludi, sadame si ku krytemu stoliku a davame si malu desiatu. Podla jednej z osadok sa to tu hemzi samymi migrantami, sama cudzia rec :) Zapinam gps na mobile (sygic), ciel Mikulov po starej ceste. Na cca 10km sa nam neoplati kupovat cesku dialnicnu znamku. Schadzame z dialnice na Kuty. Za Kutmi smerom na ... read more

First off, I have very little idea how to pronounce the name of the town I'm staying, Znojmo (yeah, best of luck to you), as such when I got on the bus to get here, I just just showed the driver a piece of paper with the name written on it. My last entry left off with a couple days left in Prague and then I'd be headed on my way to Cesky Krumlov. Since than I've seen lots more than just Cesky Krumlov, but more of that to come later. Cesky Krumlov is a very beautiful town. So beautiful infact that it is packed with tourist. Lucky not like how Prague's sites are almost year-round and fortunate for me Cesky Krumlov is only full like that during the summer. Once again I'm glad to be ... read more

After spending a month on my TEFL training course, and then getting kicked out of my flat, I was ready to save some money. So I accepted a teaching position in the small town of Humpolec. I was sent there to teach English at a camp for children on school holiday. I thought it would be a great chance to work on my Czech, but turns out, all the kids and all the people that work there, only spoke German... It was nice to get out of the city for a little while, but this place was pretty rustic. Good thing there was an electric space-heater next to my bed or I would have frozen to death. There were a couple days were I had to wear all the clothes I packed; even when I was ... read more

We spent a few days exploring the Moravian Wine Region in Sourthern Czech, mostly by cycling. Our most memorable day was our cycle through some vineyards. We decided to join the locals way of life and had our first pivo (beer) of the day at 11am! We then cycled a couple of hours and then hiked up a hill (one of these hills with about 3 false tops!), When we finaly made it to the top we had our first well deserved wine. We heard some load music on the way down, we followed our ears and ended up in the local village communtiy hall. The guy at the door was giving us two wine glasses and a book, We had no clue what was going on or what was inside the hall, So we ... read more

This past weekend, I went on a field trip to Southern Moravia, the southeastern part of the Czech Republic that borders Slovakia and Austria. It is a beautiful region of rolling hills, pine-covered mountains, pastoral villages, country estates, vineyards, and quaint mountain-top towns. We started the trip at 7:45 on Friday morning in a Soviet-era (AKA gross) bus: twenty students, a few staff members from the university, an art historian, and my Czech teacher. Everyone else went back to sleep when we started moving, but I had to stay awake to read poems for my atrocious postwar poetry class (more on my classes in a later blog...). I'm actually kind of glad I had the work because it forced me to stay awake and allowed me to see the beautiful Czech countryside. The towns we passed ... read more
