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.

We planned a trip to Slovakia mountains, but as there was looming bad weather,
the final decision was to climb up Lysa hora (Bald mountain) in Beskydy range.
First stop was in climbing centre near parking lot. It was slippery, but nicely
empty area spanning between trees and offering many exercises. The mountain
itself is not very big, so we made it up in around two hours and slept in one
of the chalets at the top. Second day it was pretty rainy, but it just made us
to get back faster.

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
