Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-? ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

A Whippin' Good Czech Easter

CZECH REPUBLIC | Friday, 13 April 2007 | Views [364]

Onward to Lednice, a castle that clearly shows the influence of two styles in one structure. One half was built during the renaissance period during the 17th century (right) while the other was rebuilt in a neo-gothic style during the 1850s (left). Now on the UNESCO world heritage list.

Hanging out at another castle, Bitov, now deep in the south of the Republic. On top of the roof were series of fish-looking flutes which made eerie organ sounds when the wind blew forcefully through their mouths - like the sound of a discordant choir warming up, but without pause.

Hanging out in the expansive gardens of Lednice - another gem of the castles here. Spring is in the air and in your face!
