How we went to Switzerland

Our friends “chrobaci” invited us to visit them and we simply couldn’t say no :)After a long working week, Andrej took two days off, we rent a car, checked on a google map how to get there, packed some things and set off a journey. We turned on a navigation and as it showed approximately good amount of kilometers and time of arriving, we relied on it.We came to Bodensee lake (which is really huge) and when we suddenly left the highway and stayed on the right side of the lake in Germany, we started thinking if the navigating is right.

Only 1:15h per person!

Do you also know that great type of advertisements, which always offer something with words “from … " ? Than you think about it more or you read that small letters at the bottom of the flyer and find out the conditions under which you will belong to the group of happy ones with that great price only “from” :) And so it occurred to me to write something similar. Would you like to relax, get out from your very well known place and spend i.

Before and after

Well, I think we settled down. We still miss some furniture like a sofa, but otherwise we can say that our home is finally livable :). The christmas time was wonderful, we met our friends and family again and eventually we spent some time with our little cute niece. But beside relaxing, we also thought a lot about decorating of our new apartment. When we finally came home, we spent a week by tidying, mounting the furniture and unpacking all the things we had.

Calendar

Well, creating of this calendar is a long story and I really mean long. The main problem was I couldn’t find any way how to link all the pages together, so it would look like a proper calendar. Finally I found the way how, but that is another story and a lesson for the future. If you think about companies, which offer a creating of the calendar and your only task is to send them pictures, forget about it.

5th of November

Well, I know that this date was quite long time ago and you probably don’t even remember it, but British people used to say “remember, remember fifth of November”. And there is a special reason why, which I found funny, when I first heard about it. A long time ago, in seventeenth century, several catholic conspirators including Guy Fawks (the main “hero”) wanted to destroy the House of Parliament in England.

Winter

My lovely husband sent me again several pictures from our flat surrounding and honestly, I was a little bit jealous. I wish I were there and could build a snowman :)That narrow path is going toward S-Bahn.

Home

Well, home is a special word. This word should denotes the place where you feel comfortable, where you have all your belongings and possibly you live there with your loved ones. It is that nice place where you go after work, where you return from the vacation or visit. After more than two years of living in England and travelling I have things everywhere, my family, husband and friends are on different places and mostly not very close to one another and I am not sure where I felt the most comfortable.

English garden

To be honest, I have no idea why this park is called Englischer Garten (English garden). Maybe because it is well-adjusted with properly cut lawn and pretty paths. It’s one of the world’s largest public parks and it’s also obviously very popular for relax and walking, doing some sports or just for sitting and reading a book. This park actually reminded me the Central Park in Manhattan, but this one is even larger.

Where to go with visitors

We were thinking about where to go in Munich. We had a nice weather and 3-days ticket for travelling, so I took the map and was looking for some interesting places in the wider centre of the Munich. Since I wanted to take some impresive pictures, we went to the Nymphenburg castle. Well the castle is really impresive, but I’m not sure about the pictures. As it is the beginning of the winter, all the statues were covered by the wooden boxes, fountains were not working and in general it was obviously a good time to repair everything.

Munich

I have never been to Munich before and I feel those few days I spent there weren’t enough. I love the historical flair of this city. There are no high modern glass buildings preventing the sun shine to the street, but low stylish buildings with sloping red roofs. There are loads of bakery and little kiosks with pretzels everywhere. Since I love to ramble marketplace, what I have probably inherited from my daddy, I was unbelievable happy to see one directly in the city centre called Viktualienmarkt.
