so when i heard i was going to brno last weekend i was kind of puzzled but up for it.
it took me a second to realize that i'd be getting to visit a city that hosts one of the places i've watched a number times.

in august the motoGP will happen again. too bad it wasn't during my visiting weekend - not that there was time. qatar and spain have already happened. next weekend turkey. i wont be in the US for the july event.


the reason for visiting brno for us ([livejournal.com profile] mistress_sandra, Harald, SklavePaul, Alice & Gerald) was a little latex gathering at a little pension. (eliot: http://www.eliot.cz/ )a nice dinner was served after we were shown our rooms and we got to change. about 30 people or so attended - mostly all czech. then we headed upstairs into a room where Sandra did a vacbed demonstration with paul first, then invited other guests to jump in to try it out. everyone was pretty much in latex. some more than others and a few ate in full hoods and heavy gear.

there was a party afterwards and more drinks downstairs in the bar-resto area.

in the am, breakfast and then i walked around to visit the stables and a short walk to the pond in front of the main building. fed the big horse that seemed pretty damn big to me.

here is the party link. all in czech.

headed back to Austria but first stopped off at the duty free shops in nomansland.
really kitsch and kind of like a cheap vegas. we did find the nicer shops and i got to pick up a couple of things from mandarina duck. (great bags and travel accessories). i hope [livejournal.com profile] ostanine likes what i got him!
