Friday 30th May 2014 What a difference a good night's sleep makes. We both awoke at an early hour (0530) to the sound of roosters crowing, pigeons cooing and cuckoos cukooing. By just after 0700 we were down in the dining area for breakfast, the staff just finishing setting it up. Not only did they have muesli and yoghurt, they actually had a fairly decent coffee too. Apart from the ubiquitous cheese and meat they also had a huge bowl of cherries. We have seen several large cherry trees in the vicinity including one in the hotel grounds that was simply loaded with cherries. We took our time over breakfast and getting ready to go out but by about 1000 we went out to have a look at the huge Baroque chateau here. We found a ... read more

Friday 23rd May 2014 Woke up to a fine day, no wind, and left Slavonice just after 0830. The first section was a bit of a slope, for about 3kms before flattening out, then going downhill. This pattern seemed to repeat itself all morning although Judy was finding it a little difficult. She used the electric motor a little more than Rags to compensate, he saved his battery in case hers ran out. An early morning tea at Rancirov, about 10kms out, was had, as we were both a little hungry. The roads we travelled on were narrow but mainly good, with very little traffic.

We kept our eyes open for deer as there were warning signs for motorists, unfortunately ... read more

12.00-kor indultunk Budapestről. Anyuhoz felmentünk előtte, elköszöntünk, s irány a három évvel ezelőtti cél, azaz Csehország, Dél-Morvaország. Első állomásunk ismét Breclav (magyarul Leventevár) volt, első fotónk, mit ad Isten, egy sörgyár előtt készült. Megtekintettük az austerlitzi emlékművet, itt verte tönkre Ferenc és Sándor császárokat a nagy Napóleon. A szomszédos faluban, Telnicén székely hősökre emlékeztet a buszmegálló mögötti kopjafa kompozíció. Este Brnoban sétáltunk.... read more

One week Done in Brno, Czech Republic! Days 35, 36, and 37 - Jan 16th, 17th and 18th: So it has been totally cool crashing with Nick, while he is at work during the days, I venture into the 20 Degree unknown, and when he gets back from work at night he shows me around for some Adventures. During the weekends we go on bigger adventures. I decided to mash up the past 3 Days into 1 Blog since I'm spending so much time here and not doing as much per day as my first month in Europe. One of the highlights has come from roaming around the city in the snow, just walking and winding up in random parks and cool places. One of which was stumbling into Park Luzanky. It was pretty Awesome, it ... read more
