My last week in Czech Republic

Sup guise!

This post is my final week in the Czech Republic, and after posting things will return back to normal with new Behind the Songs posts , Fashion From My Perspective posts , a book review, and a Hairdye Adventure coming soon... So stay tuned.

Day 15 (July 23rd, 2011)

The sun is shining! Finally! We´ve been to the zoo in Dvur Kralové nad Labem today. We also did a safari, which was really cool. I brought a huge stuffed animal: an owl. I named him Hedwig because he looks like Hedwig (Harry Potter´s owl, in case you were wondering). He´s white and has black dots on his back. Really cute.

Day 16 (July 24th)

The morning was rainy again.
My sister found a nearby museum in Scutec on the internet so we decided to go there. It was really boring. REALLY BORING. It was about making shoes and something else - I didn´t even understand what it was but it had to do something with rocks.
We also visited a castle - well, a riun -  which was beautiful. We drank Pepsi (and my dad drank beer) in a bar next to a church and went back to the campside

Day 17 (July 25th)

We went to Pardubice today. It seems like a modern, industrial city, but it has a small, old city-centre with a castle. We did a city-walk that went trough the old part of the city, trough the castle and a big park, and we also went to a small church that was really beautiful. A warm sunny day (yes, I put sunscreen on and yes, I got a sunburn after all). We got ourselves a big ice cream and then we went back to the campside again.

Day 18 (July 26th)

We went to Prague for the third time today. The weather is better than on the campside. We parked our car at the train station and brought a card for the Underground. The walls in the Underground stations look like the Daleks (You will be exterminated, you will be exterminated) from Dr. Who! When we get out of the subway at the other side of the river, the weather´s really sunny. We walk trough Male Strane, a beautiful, old part of Prague with gorgeous old buildings. Lots of embassy´s are located there. We even spotted the Dutch ambassade, lol.
We drink and eat something at a pavement (really nice, but also really expensive) and then go on. The St. Nicolaschurch (Chrám svatého Mikuláse) is by far the most amazing church I´ve seen in my entire life. We also visited the castle (and had do climb up stairs that were way loo long). The view is great from there. Then we went back via the Karelsbridge on the other side of the river. Then we all begun to get tired and we decided to take the subway back to the car. My sister and I lost our parents, which was really scary, but luckily we found them back after a while. They - but mostly my Dad - got really angry at us.

Day 19 (July 27th)

Our last day in Czech. We didn´t want to do something that´s too far away today, so we decided to go to the open-air museum in Hlinsko, that again is really hard to find. It´s about how the people in the area lived, with lots of old houses and barns. Really cute! I brought two necklages here, one with a Celtic cross and one with an Ankh. For only 2 euros and 50 cents! They´re so cool. Back at the campside we start packing our stuff, and we eat our final meal in our favourite bar/restaurant: Bartolomé.

Day 20 (July 28th)

We leave early in the morning (I believe around 7 or 8 a.m). We ate dinner at McDonalds (my Dad HATES McDonalds so he was complaining about everything) somewhere in the north/eastern part of our country and then drove home. We arrived late, but our holiday was fantastic.
