July 23 to Brno (Day 300)
We had a late morning train to catch so we had a slow morning, walking to the train station by 10 am to catch our train. We were off to Graz across the border into Austria. At Graz we transferred to a train heading to Vienna (Wein as the city is referred to in our Eurail map).
Austria, as we saw before when we passed through and stopped in Innsbruck, has beautiful scenery!
The newspapers provided to the passengers displayed very important international news!!!!
More mountain, farm and village scenery!
We didn’t transfer trains in Vienna, although it was a busy stop. We continued on across the border into the Czech Republic and to Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic after Prague.
We disembarked at the impressive Brno hlavní nádraží (central station), a 20 minute walk to our apartment.
From the apartment, after we settled in a little, we walked back to the station to the largest grocery store and bought meal ingredients, returned and enjoyed a nice evening.
The view, from the small balcony of the apartment, of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul on Petrov hill.
