Day 2, 31/03/08: Still in between Czech hills

During the period where i was crossing small country villages in Czech Republic, i could not help noticing two things. First one was that pratically in every house frontyard, there was a Skoda parked. The second was that in each 100m i could see speakers hanged on electric poles (i do not mean here the persons from Poland ok!), for what purpose i still do not know (to spread communistic propaganda in the old days maybe??).
After these incursions off the beaten track, finally arrived to the right road. Not much traffic, good road, so all conditions gathered for a significant increase the cruise speed to 80km/h. Therefore, Brno came quickly. Second most important city of Czech Republic, didnt had time to see more than the outskirts of it, so i will jump descriptions of suburbs.
From Brno to the border with Austria was pretty quick, just in time for the lunch hour. The border city is called Mikulov, and it has quite a nice castle in a picturesque landscape. Not that picturesque, but curious was the Casino right next to the border with Austria to wellcome the austrian peasants pockets with Euro.
