Brno, Czech Republic

Thurs 28th – Sat 30th Aug

Relaxation in the countryside. No agenda, no list of must-see attractions and no hordes of tourists on holiday. We found a lovely camp site just outside of Brno, located at the end of a long lake with boat rides into town instead of a subway. But instead of ticking off the big sights, we only spent a ½ day in Brno preferring to enjoy the surroundings of our camp site instead.

It was everything you've ever dreamed of in a country town. Narrow empty roads winding over rolling hills of vibrant yellow hay that contrasted perfectly against the blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. It looked like a Windows Desktop image.

Our camp site was just outside the local village, which meant grocery shopping or visiting the doctor for Bevan's hand involved a ten minute stroll down a tree-canopied dirt path next to the river. There wasn't really anything to do here except relax, admire the neighbours' vegetable gardens, run the dirt roads along the farmer's fields in the morning and watch the pheasants fly over head. Plus the local restaurant made such amazing mafioso pasta that we went back 3 nights in a row to order the exact same dish.
