The Big Surprise
On the programme Monday was to be a day with host families but instead our tour hosts organsied a special day out visiting the Moravian Karst country. This includes a large cave comples with some wonderful formations and a very interesting boat ride through a maze of tunnels again with wonderful linestone formations. Walking through the forest was interesting - while some girls felt it was like NZ, I
think this was the walk rather than the trees which were all European mixed deciduous trees. The trip also involved a ride in a motorised road"train" and a trip up to the top of the chasm to look down into another by gondailler. The bus ride to the area was about two and a half hours and so we have been able to get a realy good impression of the central Czech landscape and patterns of villages, farming styles ( crops, no fences and cows housed indoors in barns even in summer). We returned tired but very grateful for a really special day.
