    2 days in Brno - Czech Rep

    August 27, 2016 in Czech Republic ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Rode south to Brno, Czech Rep's 2nd largest city and another great place to visit. I missed the Czech Motogp by 4 days, not such a bad thing as I wouldn't have been able to afford to stay. The hotel told me the price was over 4 x as much last week!!!!.

    Lots of places in walking distance within the city - the usual cathedrals, museums etc. To be honest it can almost become overload.. my highlight was the local fire fighters had a huge display closing down part of the city. Then a fireworks display later that night. There were a couple of really nice roads on the way down.

    My inability to order a drinkable chai latte has meant I've been drinking hot chocolate, but even this isn't as easy as it sounds (although "chocolate" seems to be one of those multi-lingual words common to most languages, a bit like pizza and spagetti, also among my favourite of words). Anyway I've had some hot and misses even with hot chocolate. There's a pic of one I ordered here in Brno. It was literally a cup of hot very very melted chocolate and a smaller cup brimming with whipped cream. Not sure what to do, I slowly mixed the cream into the chocolate. And........you know what..it was great👍

    Tomorrow....Slovakia
