This weekend we decided to take a trip away from Pardubice to unwind and reset our minds after being cooped up in our little apartment for perhaps a little longer than is healthy. I sent SinĂ©ad a message on Facebook on Wednesday saying we should do something this weekend and go somewhere new…..an hour or … More Weekend trip to Olomouc in Moravia.
Following on from the last post about Sedlec Ossuary, I quickly ran downtown to try and get some photos as the sun set over the old town in Kutna Hora. The sunset which promised to be quite delightful initially, quickly faded out into a rather muted display so I set about doing some longer exposure … More Kutna Hora: A Bohemian Gem
I finally got to visit our nearest neighbouring town, Chrudim last weekend after planning a visit for months but never quite getting around to it.

I know from walking back through the old square several times since I took the photos for this post that there’s a huge amount of details I missed, … More Details, Details, Details
As you now know, I find swans rather amusing, but they aren’t Pardubice’s only ornithological delight. Down in the old town lies a sprawling complex surrounded by shaded groves of willow trees. The walls are vast and a brilliant white, blending in nicely with the snow the past few days. All along the fortifications there … More When can we move in?
