Czech Republic 🇨🇿

On our first day in Czech Republic, we took a day trip tour of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland.
We drove 2 hours across the border into Germany and stopped near Dresdon in a national park known as Saxon Switzerland. The area was called this because it reminded many visitors of Switzerland. Whilst there, we stopped at three view points including Bastei Bridge.

We then drove a further 50 minutes back into Czech to have our lunch. I had Hungarian goulash with dumplings.

After talking to Martin our guide, we found out that he studied in Hull as part of an exchange!

After Lunch, we went to a forestey area called Bohemia. This area had thick snow and ice everywhere so we had to wear cramp-ons to avoid slipping.

Bruce got very excited about the snow and carried around a couple of interestingly shaped snow balls for a while and we even made snow angles. Towards the end of the hike, I even noticed that my hair was starting to freeze!

The forest was covered in blueberry plants that the guide said can be found everywhere in spring. He also pointed out a rare lycen that glows in the dark.

Sadly, 4pm it began to get dark and it was time to go home. One of my favourite days on the trip so far!Baca lagi
