Hotel Pytloun Liberec

Summary:
Hectic last days in Holland, with lots of tears while saying goodbyes. Just across the border in Belgium car troubles, broken lager! So repairs need to be done in Brussels, our first camp spot. With Uzbekistan visa in our passport, we finally drive to Czech Republic, where we meet up with my soulmate Roman and his girlfriend Martina. Again car troubles, leaking oil at the back axle. Staying in Mlada Boleslav for a few days longer for more repairs ...

... week was fairly chilled out we could have headed straight to Warsaw over the next few days to visit my family in Poland but they suggested to come the week after when there was a birthday party on, so it would be easier to catch up with everyone in one go. This meant we had quite a bit of time to spend in the region and our plan was just to take our time in Czech and maybe go to south Poland before we headed north to Warsaw.

We spent the rest of the week ...

al the former eastern bloc countries make for good travel,, but the one that i return to is the czech republic,, mainly to the north [north bohemia],liberec,harrochov,cesky raj, but a trip or two to moravia is also worth taking,,. during the communist times it was an eye opener, now also as the people wish for the return of those times,they knew where their bread was coming from, and the upgrades fron old skoda to super fast motorcars,, ah they stilll are crazy on the roads

Tento vikend sme s kamosmi v Liberci na severe Ciech. Prisli sme sem rovno zo San Diega, tak je to trochu teplotny sok. Ked sme s Dzozim odchadzali zo San Diega bolo krasnych 26 stupnov, ale ked sme prisli do Liberca bolo len okolo desat stupnov a poriadny vietor. Ale ako sa hovori, poriadne planovanie robi ...

As you can see on the map, a lot more locations have been added after our cycling trip and returning to the resort... This title already hints you on some change of plans. Will tell you all about the things that happened and my decision to fly to Spain! After a few days at the resort, I decided to go to Tabor for the weekend. Roman has to work over the weekend and I love to go to this medieval festival I have read about before. Of course it is much more fun ...

... stopem na dwie raty do Szklarskiej Poreby. Nareszcie w domu! No, prawie. Potem juz polskim PKSem do Jeleniej Gory - a stamtad juz prosta droga do domu - Wroclawia i Opola. Chcielismy spedzic noc we wlasnych lozkach, dlatego ostatni odcinek przejechalismy platnym trasportem. Ahh znowu pokonalismy tysiace kilometrow, w wiekszosci na stopa! Dokonalismy niemozliwego (autostop w Grecji), spotkalismy indywidulistow, ktorzy ...

... only mosses on the highest peaks. The highest of these, Mt Sniezka (1602m), was to be our primary destination for the short weekend trip. We spent a night in Opole before heading off around 9am back up the A4, leaving it at Wroclaw soon after 10am. With some heavy Saturday morning traffic of the single laned road, we decided to stop off in Swidnica for a morning coffee. Ania actually suggested we stop in a "****** town" and Swidnica seemed to fit that description quite aptly. The skies ...

We are now off for a further excursion in another country! First we came across signage leading to the border crossing of Poland, we were a bit confused. After further investigating of the map we could see that the borders of Poland and Czech Rep. were rather close! About 5 minutes later we came to the border crossing for Czech Republic. Routine check, passport control and at both border crossings they made us ...

... time at an unusual rock formation just out of town, and climbed to the top. There were two other walkers up there, who pricked their ears up at our accent....you guessed it, he was from Fitzroy. Random, random, random. We also watched a German Shepherd perform some dive bombs into the lake, and when he saw us watching, he got the dog to do some repeat performances for our camera, although it was quite tricky to capture that mid-air moment!

Aby nastup do pracovniho rezimu nebyl tak kruty, tak jsem si hned udelala maly vylet. Nebojte se, ted se predevsi a rada zamerim na ceske "luhy a haje". Pokud se divate, na fotky a rikate si, ze jste jeste nic takoveho nevideli, nejste sami. Pohledu udivnych a obdivnych jsme dostavali velmi casto. Pokud se ptate ci to byl napad, tak hlavnim akter a ...
