A dinner and a tour

Another lovely day in Brno, and the main reason is that the social part today was great. After the workshop sessions ended, we were scheduled to meet for a guided tour followed by the workshop dinner. We walked to one of the most famous attractions in Brno, a 13th century castle which witnessed a lot of historical events (I don't have the brochure now so will write its name later). It was used for a long time as a prison, and our nice old tour guide told us it was one of the toughest prisons in Europe. The castle is on top of a hill and overlooks the great view of the old city of Brno and all the green hills at the background. Then we went to the restaurant, perfectly situated below the ground floor and has the architecture of a wine cellar. The food was very good, and there was a nice quartet with two violenists, one celloist, and one playing a strange czech (and slavic) instrument that sounds much like a piano. Of course we had to take a taxi back to the hotel because it was raining, but the whole day was lovely.

in one of the famous squares in the old city which we went to yesterday, there was a distinct circle marked on the ground, which, we were told, was "the centre of Europe" :)

while talking with the Serbian girl who loves Indian food, she was saying that there was only one Indian restaurant in Belgrade which was called "The Indian Restaurant" hmmm..... rings any linguistic bells? :)
