I spent in my hometown Olomouc two weeks in July, here are some pictures from my stay, think those pictures aren't so melancholic like pictures I made in winter...

I met a guy who told me that Olomouc (pronounced Olomonts / Olmutz) was a beer city in a weed country. The reason was that Olomouc comes from Olmutz , which where supposed to mean the some of the raw materials you need from making bear in old german. Moravia was called hana , which also is supposed to mean hemp (weed) in old german.. He was very convincing and I have no reason for not trusting him, unless someone knows the true meaning of those words.For now im just adding pictures. Text woul…

January 22It was a lazy waking, a bit stiff from the previous day walk. But after being ready, Katarina brought me on the way to hitch further in direction of Czech Republic, the shitty thing is that I didn't wait long but the car who stopped only took me few km further then I waited longer. Luckely then someone took and finally brought me to the border town, where the border control is in the middle of the city. So I crossed by foot, and obviously nobody there was used to see a foreigner. Th…

Out of the nightmare that is Slovakian train travel... and into the Czech Republic. Due to a run-in with a drunkard on a packed full superfast Pendolino train which would have taken me almost straight from Trencin to Olomouc, I ended up jumping off that train as soon as I could (first stop over the border) and settling for the next best thing... a rattling rust bucket of a train which was all but empty. It was a stopping-all-stations sort of thing and hence I took the scenic route to Olomouc …
