Olomouc.

So I'm backtracking a bit, we (Kirby, Becca, Christine and I) went to Olomouc (olo-moats) on Saturday! Our bus left at 8:30am and we just made it!

Basically our day went something like this... Three hour bus ride. Arrived safe and sound. Got the tram into town. Ate some Thai food at a place where the owner didn't speak any English, limited Czech, but more so German. Walked around the town square.
Got coffee. Took tons of pictures imitating all the statues.

Walked around some more. Found a beautiful park down by a small stream that we walked through, with lots of old buildings covered in graffiti.


More pictures. Dinner at Hanacka Hospada.
The restaurant we ate at for dinner. (Recommendation by Rick Steves)

Olomouc was great. There were NO tourists, the town was basically dead. With quaint little shops and really friendly people we had a great day just exploring the city. The outer region of Olomouc is called Hana!
It is the most fertile land in the Czech Republic =) AND there is a lot of Hana pride in the city, so we made sure to take pictures of anything Hana-related. The town square was alive with an outdoor skating rink and music, it was just great.

Some random pictures...
Dead pigeons.


In the town square.
Astronomical Clock.
We split some cheesecake. Tram back to the bus station. Three hour bus ride home.
