As you all know I am not going to be studying for the year in Prague. I feel a little sad that I have made all these friends and that I will have to leave them all. But I still stand by the fact that I think Brno is more of homely place, and in a year I will really know it. However I still do not have anywhere to live! That's why on Thursday Kirstie and I made a break from school to travel to Brno. It should take only 2.5 hours to get to Brno from Prague, but it ended up taking 3.5, after the traffic and the bus breaking down!! Yep, I think I am cursed when it comes to things breaking down at the moment. In S.E Asia buses were breaking down left right and centre! However, our recovery time was something of a record, and we were only in the hard shoulder for 20 mins (a very scary 20mins though). The plan for our arrival in Brno was that we were going to meet a friend of Iva and Honza's (they being the lovely czech people I met through Francis' dad). We must have stood next to them for about 10 minutes at the bus station before we realised it was them. Lenka and Filip have to be the most welcoming people in the whole of the Czech Republic. They entertained us all evening, gave us a place to stay, and then the following day, helped us look for a flat and then showed us around Brno. Lovely lovely people. The flat hunt led onto some good leads, but we are yet to have an address in Brno. Kirstie is going back on Wednesday hopefully we'll be lucky. Lenka is on the case as well, I have my fingers and toes crossed!

Dear Marysia, I am so glad that Lenka and Filip are helping you find a place in Brno. They sound lovely. I think you are right about Brno. At least there you will see the true Czech Republic and you can always visit Prague now and then. Prague must be full of tourists all the time. I can't wait to visit it however! I am hoping to go to a Mozart concert when we are there as Prague fully supported Mozart in his career. Really interesting to read your updated blog.
Love Mumxx
