My two weeks vacation was really good. I don´t even remember the last time I had two weeks off. It really made me forget about work and just relax.
Ele came to visit me from Dresden the first week. My parents were in Crete so I invited Ele to my parents house in Nymburk. I had a birthday so she called herself a present. lol
The first afternoon in Nymburk we rode a bike to a near lake. I like it there, it´s the place where people from Nymburk go to swim. I like to go there with my dad in spring too, just to walk around a have a beer in one restaurant, overlooking the lake. It´s always peaceful. I wanted Ele to see it and it´s also a nice bike ride through woods, small village and lots of horses along the way. I made Ele to drink a beer there too. She acted like it is scandalous to drink beer during a day. Not in my country.lol Ele liked it there and wanted to go there the next day again to swim cos the weather was supposed to be hot. So we did go and it was perfect. It was the first time this year that I felt it was summer holiday. Laying on the beach, swimming in a lake. Perfect. Relaxing. And of course we both got sunburned.
We had to go home in a late afternoon cos Kat and Con from Berlin agreed to visit us in Nymburk too. We picked them up at the station and went to a dinner in my favorite restaurant. It was good to have all the girls there. We then strolled around the town for a while and watched Katharine Hepburn movie back in our house. The next day was total opposite, raining all day since morning. So we packed things in our house quite soon and went back to Prague, cos frankly, there´s nothing to do in my tiny town when it´s raining. We hit KFC, bookstores, Coffee Heaven and then decided to go to cinema. There was nothing interesting on so we chose to see Accidental Husband with Uma Thurman and Colin Firth. It was typical cliche romantic comedy. I don´t remember much from it anymore. I didn´t like it that much. There were some things that I didn´t find logical or well constructed.
Ele was leaving next day in the morning. It was a short visit. I went to see her to a station, said good bye and then run to catch my train to Nymburk in different part of Prague. My parents were coming home from Crete that day so I wanted to clean the house a little and wait for them. On the way home I got a call that my 2 years old notebook, that I gave to the service earlier that week, wasn´t so easy to repair and that it would cost me lots of money and I was recommended to buy a new one. That was a downer. I didn´t have that much money on my account and clearly I need a notebook, I´m addicted to being online, so I bought one and now I´m in a debt. Achjo. The same day I got a herpes on my lip. How I hate them. And of course I got it right before my vacation in Slovakia. Always in the most inconvenient time. Luckily the day got better when my parents came home all excited about Crete.
The next day, Thursday, me and my dad went to a trip to Bohemian Paradise. It´s my the most favorite part of our country. We had been going there for random trips since I was kid so that´s why it´s so special to me. Beautiful nature, sand rocks, old castles. We chose to go to a little town called Malá Skála (Small Rock) this time where there are ruins of castle build in a rock. It was cool to climb it up and down. Then we walked to Frýdštejn castle and back to the town. We walked only like 7 km, but we were kind of tired at the end. Apparently we were out of shape.lol We went to a typical czech restaurant for a dinner and went home. Nice father-daughter day.
I went to Slovakia with my friends on Friday but I will write about it next time.
