Kromeriz (Shake, Rattle, and Roll)

Yesterday morning, I woke up and had the song Shake, Rattle, and Roll stuck in my head. But no, it was not just the regular song. I think you all know exactly what I'm talking about when I say I had the rock n' roll Elmo version stuck in my head. And then, when I realized what I was singing, I was also singing the ABC as easy as 123 song. And at lunch, I had the My Little Pony song stuck in my head. I don't understand anything.

We got on a bus at 6am and traveled to Brno. Then, from there, we took another bus to Kromeriz. It was a very small city, but I actually loved it. There weren't a ton of people like in Prague. And it was raining. But it only rained when we were in the chateau and when we were eating lunch and then it got super nice out when we were walking through the gardens.

We walked around when we first got there because our tour of the chateau wasn't until 11.

There were a lot of cool buildings. And like I said, barely any people! My favorite. I don't like people.

This square made me want to dance around to be honest. Don't know why.

This dog just plopped down and demanded to be pet by his owner. She complied.

Chateau courtyard.

Creepin on this couple from inside the chateau. Scandalous.

We weren't supposed to take pictures, but I snuck a few. This statue looks like she's going "dafuq is that?"

 Some old clarinets.

Some original Mozart and Beethoven. That was pretty cool.

View of the square from the tower.

My lunch. "All salads served toasted toast." There is apparently a difference between toast and bread here so no, it is not just toast. It is toasted toast. And it's definitely not toasted bread. We sat and ate lunch and drank wine while it rained. It was great. I had garlic soup and this caprese salad. And a dessert of vanilla ice cream with hot raspberries. Nom.

Then we found ourselves in the oasis of the flower garden.

 I think Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was filmed here.

 This pheasant thing sprinting past us squaking and it was hysterical.

There was a little zoo in the chateau garden so there were a lot of birds and goats and deer and other strange things. This duck isn't that strange, but they looked funny diving for fishies.

It was a solid day. We explored a lot and I think that is my favorite thing to do in new places. The bus ride back from Brno to Prague seemed to take forever. But I'd say it was worth it.
