During covid depression we discovered nice Canada-style loghouse near Pocatky
town in Highlands region of Czech Republic. It is on the lakeshore and provides plenty of
nice areas around for bike trips, walking, running, or swimming. For a change this
was a "family vacation" and we enjoyed it as well.

Second time on Morava river, this time just our family. Much more water than
last time made the drive quite quick, so we camped about 8 kilometers futher
in nicer place with great buffet, nice water powerplant and friendly goat
Ruzenka. Boys get better in canoe skills and despite rainy weather at the start
it was really nice.

The summer vacation with kids. We abandoned any plans to go anywhere too far and
picked close countries - Austria and Hungary for short road-trip. Packed with two
tents we did first stop in Marchegg for famous stork trails and second in
Mosonmagyarovar for thermal enjoyment and Hungarian cuisine.

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 kids never saw any kind of sea, we never dared to travel that far. This one
had number of firsts - first flight, first sea swimming, first island. But above
that it was nice vacation that all of us enjoyed. Half was in Dubrovnik's

Last weekend of summer vacation. We spent three days in South Moravia area
called Pálava, known for wineyards, castles, and lakes. We did some swimming,
wine tasting and trips, but our kids especially loved our tent placement in
Apollo camp. We were next to fenced area with goats and sheep. Boys took some
of them for "theirs", gave them names and in every free moment they kept
feeding them.

Last weekend of the summer holiday. Our boys were telling us all the time that they
want to go out camping, so we decided to go down to Hungary and find a nice place to
stay with tents, enjoy last sunrays of the summer and have good time together. Alice
found a place called Lipot, close to the point where borders of Slovak, Hungary, and
Austria touch. In the town there were thermal baths, nice bakery with view to its
production line, and many nice places around. On the way back we visited Bratislava,
Slovak capital and exhibit dedicated to Titanic sinking and wreck exploration.

We typically use similar recipe for preparation of Christmas - to leave to
some distant place in the mountains and do skiing and other winter joy. It is
pretty easy to avoid preparation stress, also there is very little people
in the mountains during that time. This year the weather did not promise anything
good, but we still went and did not regret at all.

ourselves time from time. First day was supposed to be relaxing, other more
demanding, but it turned out to be exactly the opposite. First day was very
long and good elevation, while second day was pretty quick and easy.

I like sea and taking photographs. The trip to the Adriatic sea was
opportunity to try another photographic discipline - taking snaps under the
water. So I bought a simple and cheap camera made by Fuji, and tried
to use it. Some snaps were not as bad as I expected, so you can see some
of them here. I also broke the case to see, how is it made.
