Czech Trip Day 2: Brno

 

On Saturday morning, we woke up to light rain - which was refreshing since Friday was incredibly hot outside. The air was cool and the sky was cloudy. We started the morning with a run around the town - which was more like sightseeing for me. We ran for ~45 minutes and included several stops for pictures of gardens (and one longer stop to look at the cutest kitten and momma). 



After we cleaned up, we drove ~60 minutes to the city of Brno to meet Karel's niece Lenka and her husband and son. If you'd like to read more about Brno, here's an article. 

After meeting Lenka at the parking lot by the train/bus station, we walked through town to a restaurant for lunch. We had lunch at Forky's - a 100% plant based bistro. It was so great to be able to choose any option from the menu. I had a power plate w/ quinoa protein bites and Karel had a tofu curry. We shared fries. 



After lunch, we walked up to the top of a hill to tour the Špilberk Castle. We first took a tour of the museum and then went below the castle to tour the Prison. We then walked to see the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul.












Around 4pm, we headed back to Znojmo. We needed to fill our car with gas (diesel) so we got a few snacks at the gas station - popsicles and my favorite poppyseed "bread."
