My recent week in Czech Republic! Due to the PurgeAtl.com writers and my mom complaining that I don’t write enough in my blog, I will attempt to write a little more this time. Long story short, I met Martin in New Zealand at the beginning of this trip, and we talked almost every day over the past four months. He was living and working in New Zealand, then went traveling around Fiji, Vanuatu, and Australia, while I was all over the place. He is from Czech Republic and had to return home for a bit while I was in Europe, so here we are! We started in Prague.
I love the view of the city.
This is beer, mom. It’s pretty good in Czech.
another castle..
Finally got to try Absinthe for the first time! I’ve been curious for a while. It tasted awful, but the feeling was nice.
After Prague, we headed to a small village called Krenov to visit some of Martin’s friends from high school and college. There was soccer (ok, football), beer, and food. That pretty much sums up three days.
The boys!
Apparently you need a lot of foam for a beer to be good. Who knew.
“Potato Juice”
The lake by the house we stayed at.
The town where Martin grew up!
Ice cream!
We rode bikes to a castle. Not a bad day.
Martin is a veterinarian, so we visited some of his friends from vet school and some animals. Baby cows and then an animal sanctuary.
So, I apologize for the sudden mushy and overall vomit-inducing nature of this post. Obviously it wasn’t the plan to meet someone two weeks into a round the world trip, but that’s life. Tomorrow we are headed to Istanbul, because…why not head to Istanbul. One week there, then back to Czech for a few days, then back out to…somewhere. Maybe Switzerland. Hoping to meet up with some other friends as well. Good things on the way!!
