The second city we visited in our week trip was to Brno. We choose this city because John had already been to Prague and we have a friend, Beth that lives in Brno.
Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic and is in the Moravian part of the Country. It was about a 4 hour drive from Salzburg. The landscape during the drive was rolling hills and vineyards as this area of Austria and Czech Republic, supposedly produce nice wine.

It was very nice to have someone to show us around Brno as it was a very nice city, but definitely still in the process of a "face lift" after communism took its toll. Beth lives really close to Old town and the big park in the middle of the city, so it was great to know what little shops to pop into while we walked around. I love little unique shops with handmade clothes/jewelry and such.... the best one we stopped into was a coffee shop/handmade goods shop.

| Really Switzerland, this coffee shop with play area is a great concept!! This was our favorite coffee of the trip. |
We also stumbled upon a little "festival" going on in Old town while we were visiting. This was great because there were tons of street vendors serving up traditional Czech food. So, it was a great chance to have samples of several traditional Czech foods and treats.

Waiting to order a dessert that reminded us of Auntie Annes cinnamon pretzels!

There it is! So yummy!

As you can tell, we had a great week trip visiting three different cities. The 8 hour drive home went much smoother than I thought, which is usually the case! I do think a 6 hour drive is a better maximum amount than 8 hours with a little one, we will try to remember that for next time!
