Jan's Adventures
skiing just a month ago
Monday 20th March 2006
An overdue post, just a month ago Kate and I met up with my parents and my younger sister to go skiing in the Czech republic.
On a friday night flew to Hamburg to meet with my sister. The next morning we got up early (5:30am == 4:30 London time :( ) to get on the road. It was a beautiful morning with blue skies and the sun rising on the horizon in beautiful red. We were meant to meet with my parents in Leipzig but that somehow did not work out, so we kept going torwards the border Oberwiesental/Bozi Dar. Unfortunately the weather got a bit snowy and one could hardly make out the street signs, so we went a bit past the border and had to turn around and stand in a rather longish queue to cross the border. We were joking that it would be funny if my parents had caught up with us and that we would see them coming around the corner and meeting us at the juction were we had missed our turn.
Well, so it happened :)
Just half an hour later we got to our destination, a little guest house in Hřebečná close to Abertamy. We got a couple of nice rooms with lots of wood and nice views of the valley.
it is getting worse ...

.. but I expected that much. I have not been updating the blog on a regular basis as I had planned to.
No, the all so busy life is not to blame, I am just plain lazy.
Life though, has been bussy and most weekends we have been going places, visiting friends and relatives and finally went on a little vacation.
Well, since the last post there was Christmas and we decided to spend it in London inviting Kate's parents to join us.
We got a nice christmas tree in mid december and decorated it with real candles and little ornaments.
It was very nice and despite the fact that it did not look much like it outside it did start to feel like christmas is coming.
