Sincere apologies for the lack of posting recently, I was on holidays in Canada and have finally caught up on sleep, work and everything in between. So where were we?

Instead of booking in advance and staying in some hotel nearby we decided to rough it and stay in the campsite next to the track.

I didn’t think too much of it, I mean … More Moto GP 2013: Brno, Czech Republic (The campsite)

We went during the classical music and wine festival (Is there a better combination?) and were blown away by an awesome private tour of one of the vineyards there.

We were on our way to the zoo when Sinead’s awesome friends decided we should take a detour to a place called Josefov and explore the underground tunnels there. Sign me up! The tunnel … More Josefov…….Josefon
I’m still pinching myself as I write this. We had travelled to the beautiful town of Znojmo for a classical music and wine festival (More on that in the future). We were heading down with two of Sinead’s friends, staying in a guest-house and visiting some of Veronika’s friends. Turns out that friend’s husband just … More Heaven grows on vines
Following on from the last post where we enjoyed an extended stay in Česká TÅ™ebová, we made our way to the bus-stop outside the train station and departed for LitomyÅ¡l. We past through a number of smaller towns, nestled amongst the undulating farmlands and thick forests of this part of the Pardubice region. Quite a few passengers … More LitomyÅ¡l
