Tadhg's trip to Brno

On Friday evening, Tadhg, mom and dad took the train to Brno for a weekend away. The main reason for the trip was to visit the Dino park but it was also a chance for the family to see Brno for the first (and possibly last!) time. Tadhg enjoyed the train ride from Prague and was excited to stay in a hotel room (after mom and dad had sorted out a mix-up with the room).

On Saturday, everyone was up early for the short train ride to the town where Dino park is. After paying in to the small zoo, they had to take a Zoo train to get to the Dino park. After passing under the Jurassic Park like gates, everyone realised this was a much larger Dino park than the one they had visited in Plzen. Tadhg was a bit nervous of the loud animal roars and the moving dinosaurs, so after a relatively short visit they decided to get the train back to the normal zoo.

The small zoo was "unusual" and did not have the zoo animals mom and dad expected. There were some exotic animals like emus and ostriches but the majority of the zoo was filled with farmyard animals and dad's favourite exhibit was a tabby cat in an enclosure with a sofa and TV!

Tadhg enjoyed the zoo animals more than the dinosaurs and was happy to get down and dirty with the goats, sheep, pigs and cows.

On Sunday the family wandered around the town of Brno to see the sites. Tadhg especially enjoyed the crocodile hung from the ceiling of a little walkway under the old town hall.

After a fun weekend away, everyone was happy to take the train home to Prague. Tadhg was happy to get back home to all his toys.
