MORAVIA

Moravia is the eastern region of the Czech Republic - Bohemia the western. In less than an hour from Bratislava we arrived at Lednice, a little town once graced by the Liechtenstein family who built a chateau here and established Europe's biggest landscaped garden. We wandered around the part of the garden closest to the chateau - we decided this was as much of the 200 sq km we could manage. Being the off-season, there were few other visitors and we had a peaceful stroll around the artificial lake, across small bridged islands and to the minaret withn the chateau grounds. As this may be our last trip to the Czech Republic, we were keen to get rid of all our Czech Crown, so a trip to the supermarket bought some lunch and bits and pieces, packet at a time until we were left with only a few cents remaining.
