An epic road trip

A few days ago my friend and former student Martin Tůma had to deliver a crate of photos to South Moravia, which is pretty much the opposite corner of the country. Martin's wife Tereza and I decided to tag along and make a road trip out of it. Our first stop was Valtice, where the locals were celebrating the Feast of Saints Cyril and Methodius (yep, that's a national holiday) with wine and music...
Next we stopped at a chateau in Lednice, the town where Martin studied...
... and a coffee museum in a very unlikely place, a sleepy village in the South Moravian hills...
On the way home we watched a dramatic sunset thunderstorm over the South Bohemian countryside...
... and stopped by the ruins of Landštejn castle. We left home at 7am and got back at 11pm. Pretty good for a day's outing.
