A Pleasure and feel very honoured to have the Czech President Mr Petr Pavel and First Lady Mrs Eva Pavlova, the Czech Ambassador to Australia Mrs Jana Tyrer, the Czech Consul General in Sydney Ms Zuana Slovakova, along with members of the business delegation visit Puhoi Last Sunday.
After visiting the Museum and the Church the Puhoi Heritage Museum hosted them for lunch. A presentation was made to the President from the Museum and also from the Puhoi Organic Distillery.
A very enjoyable afternoon and very privileged they allowed time to visit Puhoi with their very busy schedule.
