Primary purpose of London visit was nearby Warner Bros Studios with setup for Harry Potter films. Our kids are great fans of the series so despite quite high cost they really wanted to see that. Other draws were HMS Belfast, light cruiser from WWII or RAF Museum, city centre around Buckingham Palace, Borough Market for exotic food or Greenwich. All in all great four days in the area.

Second day we hiked back to Kutna Hora, visiting cathedral of Saint Barbora
and unique ossuary - small church filled with human bones of all kinds, arranged
as decoration. Second night was in LEGO Museum hotel to great delight of our kids.

Last days of our Norway vacation in the capital city of Oslo. We found plenty
of interesting facts in polar expedition museum built around the famous sailing ship
Fram. With borrowed bicycle it was easy to get there and also to our next stop,
well known Vigeland park with myriads of statues. Then we just strolled around the
city and in the port, getting along with atmosphere and dining.

Our younger boy Honza loves animals. Mostly because of this we planned a train
trip to Vienna, capital of Austria, about two hours of ride. In one of defense towers,
built during WWII, there is large oceanographic exposition with sharks, rays, turtles,
octopusses and many other ocean animals. On our way back to train station, we also
spent few hours in Prater, the large and famous amusement park.

Two years agp we were in Budapest with my sister to see christmas fairs. Major
attractions should have been spa and "unforgettable" view to the Donau river.
Since the view was obscured by heavy fog, we have to come back and see what
we missed.

Second trip was finally two-day endeavour. We picked a cottage called
Paprsek ("Light ray" in czech) in western part of the mountain range and then
found some way we never went before. It was quite adventurous, because the path
was off beaten track and it led through a cattle area. Fortunately we just
heard the sounds, but even those were pretty scary.

I had to visit Prague, because of obtaining visa at U.S. embassy. The process
went smoothly, so I spared some time to walk Prague a bit and also try out the
TV transmitting tower. It is combined with observation point with good views to
town. Despite unpleasant weather it was quite nice.

Broumov is famous area of rocky towns. High towers loom over woods around,
pleasing visitors and climbers. They are made of sandstone, matter we never
tried before. We looked forward a lot and found it interesting but difficult.

New Year we are going to spend by dolce far niente. For a clear conscience we
went out to country, in this time naturally with cross-country ski. Pretty bad
weather, freezing, windy, no-one with brain in head would go out. As expected,
we met nobody, probably everyone spend this time by fire ...

In the distance of sixty kilometers western of Brno there is some hills,
altogether called Highlands (Vysocina). Because of direct lines of train and
regular considerable amount of snow it stands for ideal place for cross-country
skiing. Centre of area is New Town (Nove mesto), where we found accomodation.
As many people from Brno has similar opinion about suitability of place,
typical routes around New Town was crowded. We have no other choice than create
our own hill-to-hill path. It is beautiful to go as first in deep snow ...
