Skalni Mlyn and the caves

Our first night in Brno was an early one. We got woken the next morning by the sound of the Russian guests in our hostel enjoying their breakfast.
After our own breakfast we headed to the train station to catch the half nine train to Blansko where we would visit some nearby caves. The bus we had taken from the train station the night before had changed its route overnight. This led to us having to jump on a connecting tram and sprint through the train station but we managed to make our train. We had some time to wait for the next bus to the caves. Fortunately after a couple of dull days the sun had returned allowing us to sit on a bench and slowly melt.
When we got to the caves we found that we couldn't go into either cave for another hour and a half. We took a walk through some woods while we waited. As we walked we came to an abyss. There was a small charged to go to the edge which we paid. Once we had gotten to the edge of the abyss we wished we hadn't bothered as the view down wasn't all that impressive. It would have been a steep drop but really not something you should be charged to take a look at.
It was almost time to go into our first cave of the day. After about ten minutes I realised that I didn't really like caves all that much. They're cold, wet and I constantly have to worry about hitting my head. Also the tites and the mites don't do much for me. Despite my indifference to the subject of the tour I will admit that it was put together quite well with atmospheric music played at different stages of the tour and special effects highlighting the rock formations that seem to look like things. Though most of them only look vaguely like they are suppose to.
Having seen two caves we headed back to Brno hoping to sample some of its nightlife.
