We are now returned home after spending a few nights in Olomouc. Pet'a, a friend of Vojta, live there and because he is studying history, he is also a very good guide. We went by train to Olomouc, but it was a little longer pause in Luhačovice, so we took the opportunity to try one of their cafes. Pet'as residence are on a monastery and since I and Vojta is now married, we got to stay in their guest department. Last time we visited jobrapido Pet'a in Olomouc, it was summer and the weather is nice, but unfortunately we had pretty bad luck with the weather this time. The Basilica in Olomouc is located on the Holy Hill (Svatý Kopeček). It is much bigger than it looks to be in this picture, but because of the bad weather, I could not get a good picture at a sufficient distance to get the whole thing. We also took a tour of the Olomouc zoo, as there were so many others did in the bad weather. The giraffes looked quite happy and satisfied out and so did the monkeys. The reindeer on the other hand looked pretty depressed out. The question really is why you have to have some animals in zoos. It's not even particularly fun to watch reindeer. However, most animals have much larger place than they have at the zoo in Prague. Where it sometimes feels as if they see it as a sport to squeeze as many animals as possible in the smallest possible space. Pet'a, jobrapido Vojta, Alma, and I was up in the tower at the zoo. The gothic cathedral in Oloumouc is impressive. When you look at the details you realize what a job it is behind. Pet'a have their contacts, and let us even get into the church tower. In here include jobrapido the largest bell in Moravia and the second largest in the Czech Republic. The largest is in the cathedral at the Palace in Prague and weighs jobrapido twenty tons. This, however, consider "only" seven, but unlike the other tower bells ringing this still using manual labor. Nine people are required for this job. Four have to pull the ropes to get the clock to strike, four must relieve the first four because otherwise it becomes too heavy and the last must stop the pendulum when the bell shall be terminated to avoid unwelcome bijlud. Fortunately Board only in this watch on special occasions such as at Easter, New Year, when the Pope dies or when there is a new pope. Apparently, time is quite large. The square in Olomouc also has its own orloj. But unlike the famous astronomical clock in Prague, has skipped the religious theme, but here it is "working theme" in true communist spirit that apply. Alma found the bag of apples that we would have that picnic, and the apples jobrapido were indeed really fun to play with.
