My Holiday in Czech Republic, week one

Sup guise!

Sorry for not updating much the past few days, but I only have 2 weeks of summer holiday left and I wanted to spend them with my parents and sister more than surfing the internet and playing the Sims 3 all day. But here I am, with my day-to-day story of my holiday in Czech! I am going to make 3 post, of one week each. Otherwise it'll probably be one huge post. Here's week one!



Day 1 (July 9 2011)

Today is the day of our journey to Czech, which should be about 12 hours without stops and being stuck in the busy traffic, so we expect it's going to take us about 14 hours to get there.

We have to leave early and get out of the Netherlands before it's getting busy on the road. Our journey is good, but with some delay because of work on the road.

The campside is very nice, and lies in a cute, small village surrounded by fields and woods.

Day 2 (July 10, 2011)

Today is all about realxing. We woke up, ate bread from a local baker that we ordered the day before, we showered and after all that we went to a nearby town to shop some food and buy some stuf we had forgotten. We shopped at 'Kaufland', a huge supermarket where they sold pretty much everything. From cereal to erasers to toys for your dog. Then we walked to another village and had dinner at one of the tree local restaurants/bars. The food was very nice.

Day 3 (July 11, 2011)

It was the second night with bad weather - lightning and thunder and stuff, which kept going on for hours - so we got up late. We went to see Chrudrim, a cute town with a doll museum. Unfortunately the museum is closed, but just looking around in the town is also very nice.

My dad and mom went for a little walk in the afternoon, my sister and I were lazy so we stayed at the campside.

Day 4 (July 12, 2011)

The weather is beautiful today. We wanted to walk in a nature reserve near Prozec. We started our walk in Bor u Scutce. The nature reserve was beautiful: huge, high rocks and trees everywhere. But the walk was very steep, a bit too steep for us. Back at the campside we just relaxed a bit.

Day 5 (July 13, 2011)

We wanted to go to a Dino Park in Prague today, but we couldn't find it. We drove 2 hours to Prague, then we searched there for like 3 hours and then went shopping at a huge mall in the city centre. We didn't buy anything, all the shops where the same as in the Netherlands. We drank something in a pavement and then went back to the campside and had dinner at a diffrent restaurant, which was even better that last time.

Day 6 (July 14, 2011)

The night was horrible again, it stormed all night and morning. We got up very late today.
Shopped some necessary stuff in Chrudrim and looked for a postal office on our way back, for stamps and telephone cards.

Day 7 (July 15, 2011)

We got up early today and went back to Prague. It took lots of time, but... We found the Dino Park! On the roof of a mall. It was smaller that expected, but really funny.

Then we went looking for a shop called 'Nosferatu' (My sister and I wanted to go there SO BAD, it's an alt/gothic shop in Prague and the site looked cool). We found it quickly, it was in the city centre.
Nosferatu is so cool! If you ever happen to be in Prague one day, go there. It's the biggest alt shop I've seen in my life. They sell loads of stuff. Regular brands such as Hell Bunny, Poizen Industries, Queen of Darkness, Spiral and loads of bandshirts, but they also sell brands I hadn't heard of before. They also have stuff such as Kiss masks, Manic Panic hairdye, gloves, stockings, and a pretty big collection of creepers and New Rock boots.

The store is located in a basement, the only thing you see when you walk in is a small room with black walls, a life-sized Dracula doll and glass stairs going down. Kinda scary. But the shop itself is awesome, and the guy that worked there that day spoke English and German.

We ate sandwiches on our way back and arrived late at the campside.

That was week one. I'm going to write the other two weeks as soon as I have time. Hope you liked it!
