Broumov as a protected landscape area with monastery and wooden church

你好，你怎麼樣？

It means Hello, how are you in Chinese according to a google translator :-) After visiting Adrspach rocks (will be another article) I took my friend Amy from Taiwan to Broumov because we still had some time left. It is really close to Adrspach and I have never been there. It was a kind of spontaneous decision. Too bad, the monastery was already closed, but at least we made to a wooden church in the cemetery. For me the interior of the church was one of the most beautiful and interesting I have ever seen.

A few facts about this trip:

- located in Kralovehradecky region, district Nachod

- around 7 500 inhabitants

- protected landscape area Broumov

- Broumov monastery

- wooden church in the cemetery

Hiking in Jested during April and May

Hello,

as you probably already know from my blog, Jested mountain is very famous in the Czech Republic. It´s a kind of symbol of Liberec region. I always take there my friends from abroad and also friends who are just visiting me.

In April, my Kings Dominion friends Bohunka and Tyna from Prague visited me for a weekend. On Saturday we were hiking from Liberec Horni Hanychov to the top of Jested.

In May, my Kings Dominion friend Amy from Taiwan visited me for a week. On Moday which was a  national day, we were hiking from Jested to Hodkovice nad Mohelkou.

Hiking from Jested to Hodkovice nad Mohelkou. Amy told me that she imagines something diffrent under the term "hiking" than me. And these 20 km is her personal record :-)

The landscape here is really beautiful, don´t you think?

Stopping by for a lunch in a restaurant located in Javornik.

Our final stop- Hodkovice and Mohelkou. It is really funny because we have been waiting for the train and after like one hour (by chance), found out that the time of arrival is different because it is a national day. So, we took a bus :-)

Weekend in Liberec with Bohunka and Tyna
It was the second time my friends from Prague have visited me in Liberec.

First night in the Czech Republic- starting in Potrefena Husa with my friend Lucka, continue in disco club Dabelska Hut.

The summary of our days in Liberec: Porsche, veteran cars, the dam, museums, majales.

Long weekend in Vienna

Hello my friends,

as you might know I have spent a long weekend in Vienna with my friends. Reason? Amy, one of my best friends who come from Taiwan, was visiting Europe. Her first stop was Austria. Marlene, who was my roommate in the US is living in Vienna and she was hosted us. We really had a great time there and we couldn´t wish for a better weather. In the Czech Republic it was raining!

A few facts about my trip:
- date: 28.4. - 1.5.
- bus Student Agency from Prague to Vienna, it takes around 4,5 h.
- bus ticket: 1 way= 380 kc
- total expenses: around 3 000 CZK
- reunion from the U.S.



So, how was the capital of Austria?

It´s just incredible how the time flies. I´ve been to Vienna twice (so far). I´m planning another visit this summer. (hopefully).

February 2011. My first time in Vienna.

April 2017. My second time in Vienna.

Schonbrunn.

If you get out at metro Handelskai, there is a very nice walk with dogs for instance.

Stadtpark. Majlo comes from Slovakia and I think he really likes (Marlene said he doesn´t like many people). In Liberec I have 2 cast, as you might know. But I have to admit that me and my brother, always wanted a dog. So now, I want to have both one day.

There were some special events in the city. And as you can see, I´m always lucky about  the scaffolding on some monuments. 

Karlsplatz.

Finally together after 1 year and half.

The opera.

St. Stephen´s cathedral.

The view from the cathedral (south tower). You have to climb 343 stairs, right, Amy? :-)

Belvedere and around.

Wienerwald. The Forest of Vienna.

We were trying to do BBQ.

I just love Vapiano. Everytime I have a chance, I go there.

I also highly recommend this iced tea.

Time for a breakfast in some typical Cafe in Vienna. Every cafe has some particular atmosphere and magic. Generally, the interiors are beautiful!

And that´s all from Vienna. I´m very lucky to have a local friend there and already looking forward to my next visit.

Regards
Misa
