    Yay, we loved Brno! We plan on going back. We ate at the same restaurant (the traditional one) twice during our stay! There is so much to do there and in the surrounding area. As a plus it has a large Vietnamese population and along with that a ton of excellent Vietnamese restaurants as well!

      Hi! We are only doing a short stretch of fast travel - just about a month and then back to our usual slow travel. We find it's great to travel quicker through some areas that we either can't see ourselves staying for a month or are also a bit out of our price range for a month-long stay. Believe me, we are so excited to get settled into our new place for a longer stretch, fast travel is very fun but also incredibly tiring ☺ Cheers!!

    We visited Kroměříž which is near Brno and just loved it. It’s where Amadeus was filmed. I believe it’s the most visited city by locals in the country. If you get a chance to visit it’s well worth a day a two for the gardens and to see the castle where the film was made.

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Před 10 měsíci +2

      Unfortunately, we didn't make it to Amadeus. We only had a couple of days in Brno and spent on going to Vienna. We may be returning next year!! Too many places to see that we missed! Thank you for watching and commenting!!

    Špilberk castle (Szpilberg). The thing with separated shower and toilet is norm in Czech republic, even in regular homes. "Swedish breakfeast" - system take what you want - is also quite favourite in Czech hotels and hostels, but is not necesary norm. BTW Brno has interesting and extensive katacombs (underground tunels). It is said, once there was cave-in of the street in Brno, and some people who was there at the time went missing. Some were found under the cave-in, but some decided probably to venture around and got lost. During the search for the people (wich was unsuccessfull at the end) was found an human skeleton in nazi uniform. - probably leftover from WW2. The single column with stuatue on top, wich was on the square, is called Morový sloup (Plague column), and those were usually build as a "thank you" to patron saint of the city wich was not hit severly by plague, or at some places as reminder on the lost. If you would like more sweet beer, try next time the black beer. Was living in Brno for several years, now living in Prague. Brno has its merit, and is less hectic and much less of tourist trap, than Prague now is.

    Excellent video. You nailed it, Brno is nice but not too many tourists visit. They prefer Prague, while us, Brno citizens prefer them to go to Prague, not to spoil our summer atmosphere 😊 But, whenever some tourists appear, they are always welcome by great beer, traditional czech food and real Moravian (not Czech...) folks. There is a large difference in between these two cities. Prague is for tourists, Brno is for travelers to learn about the country called Moravia (or Great Moravia in history books), older then Czechia itself, now part of it ;)

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Před 9 měsíci +2

      This is exactly what we experienced and makes complete sense. I can't say i blame you wanting the tourists to go to Prague, it keeps that nice peaceful vibe we loved in Brno. Thanks so much for watching!! Cheers 🍻

It’s very relatable 😅. This is the kind of slow travel we are interested in. I like that you also highlight the places you’re staying. I’ve been to Prague before but hoping to go back with my family. Prague is so underrated and around $20 for a meal with tip is just one of the reason why I love traveling across Europe.

In any other time it's busy and crowded but you are right - not with tourists. Around Brno is so many places to visit. The beautiful Punkva Cave and Macocha Gorge or Brno Reservoir where is also old castle Veveri located. Lots of old castles around everywhere you go. Maybe one day you'll come back to visit them :) Have lots of fun, enjoy your adventures! Love to watch your videos:)

      Not to butt in, but her meal at Stopkova Pivnice was svíčková, which is the most typical and traditional czech dish I know of. It is a beef tenderloin slow cooked in a creamy vegetable sauce. The color is actually from the carrots used in the sauce. Throw some typical czech bread dumplings on a side and we have a party. I am Brno born and raised, so I thing I know what I am talking about here :)

Currently in Mexico, but hope to visit many more countries soon. One thing that would be interesting for you to comment on is how easy is it to get by on only knowing English in all of these various destinations. Do you have to use translator apps a lot? What percentage of people speak English? Etc. Keep up the good work!

      Great question! We honestly have had such little issue with language barrier. We use Google translate for the grocery store or menus when needed.

    Hi Brian & Carrie. We always enjoy your videos & have been watching you from the start. While we like beer among other things to drink, I don't think you've ever mentioned where there are any bathrooms. We've been to Europe many times & try to limit liquids because bathrooms tend to be scarce. McDonalds, BK, Starbucks can be options if a code to enter is not required & you may not be required to make a purchase either but somtimes you must buy something. Due to the extreme heat one wants to stay hydrated, but lets face it you are always on the hunt for a bathroom. Please include this sometime. Your input will be informative.😊😊😊

    • @BrianandCarrie
      @BrianandCarrie  Před 10 měsíci +2

      The bathroom search is a real thing, especially here in Europe. It's funny you mentioned this as one of our soon upcoming videos we mentioned the bathroom situation 😁. A few things we've here is they charge everywhere - I used to try to avoid this and now I just make sure I have change to go. Better to not always be dehydrated. Cheers 🍻

      It is a difficult choice. They are so different from each other. We do enjoy the climate here in Europe over SE Asia.

Despite that, we will be returning next spring! 🙂 Safe travels!!
