Working Overseas: Brno Days Two and Three

Day 2

Yesterday I was able to get into the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul.  The inside of the cathedral was ornate, though less so than I expected from the outside.

On the way back I ran into a strange art installation with a number of pig mannequins and students playing music on a small stage.  I have no idea what was happening, but it sure was interesting.

I also managed to snap a quick photo of the Brno train station outside the hotel before dinner, it's actually really neat looking with bronze roof and figures.

Day 3

Today I was able to leave the office a little early and tried to visit the Capuchin Crypt, unfortunately it closed at 4:30.  Then, I tried to visit the Brno Museum, but unfortunately it was also closed.

After regrouping at the hotel, I walked to the Špilberk castle, which is on a hill overlooking Brno.  When I first set out, I walked up the hill to the ramparts and looked out over the city to the actual castle sitting on the next hill over.

Oops... so I started out again for the castle.  The walk was steep, but luckily not too far.  The castle grounds are actually a park and are completely open to the public.

The view from the castle of the city below was pretty spectacular.

After walking down from the castle, I had some great beer at a small pub and a kebab before heading home for the night.
