Brno; Friday, 26 July, 2013

Thankfully I’d checked on line a couple of days earlier so was aware of the ‘alterations’ that were in place. Brno central station undergoing significant rebuilding meant that the long distance trains were all being diverted away to a different station with a replacement bus.

What they hadn’t explained was that the ‘different station’ was in fact a hastily constructed slab on concrete on the edge of a marshalling yard on the outskirts of town. Having clambered down with my heavy luggage from the train to basically trackside it was then a short walk over to the replacement buses, and a five minute ride into the centre of Brno.

I walked the short distance to the hotel, checked in, dropped my stuff off and headed out into town to take in the sights.

First stop was just opposite the hotel, the church of St James and underneath it’s ossuary. I then went for a long wander through the old town taking in the various sights and stopping in the main square for dinner before heading back to the hotel for an early night.
