.grown-up stuff

.so it looks like I'm finally switching from the student life into some serious grown-up way of living it all through ;). I'm still not graduated, but this mission will be hopefully accomplished in less than two months...
I've been to an interview in one company I'm very interested to work for. They have to tell me their decision until the end of this week. I really hope I'll get that job, it'll be like dream come true :). Keep your fingers crossed, please!
There is one another thing connected to this. I need some place to live in :). Because of this I've started looking for some room/flat that I can afford to rent. We would like to find something together with some friends and that brings also many new problems (we need to agree upon location, price and plenty of other things).

But first of all thesis and graduation. I'm so desperate to be successfully over this...

.latino pizza

.we've met again. After a long time we managed to come together for a nice talk and tasty pizza with our friends from El Salvador and Peru. This little dinner was traditionally taking place at our favourite pizzeria Einstein.

Because it's so hot these days, we've chosen a fine cold beer as a starter ;). And it really served its purpose to refresh :). We haven't seen each other for quite a time, so there was a lot of stuff to talk about.
Between the conversations a fine pizza was eaten and as a dessert some cool ice cream was chosen. I've not tried it, as I have a sore throat and am not willing to provoke some illness right now ;)...

So I guess, till next time!

.krkonose fever

.dreams do come true :). After so many days of terrible weather sun has finally shone last week. That means we had a chance for some biking. Krkonose mountains were chosen as a destination (with its highest mountain Snezka, 1602m). The highest mountain range in the Czech Republic was quite challenging and a bit biker unfriendly... Let me explain it a bit further.

After finding some place where to stay (near Pec pod Snezkou) and finding someone to go with (Jozko as always) all that was left was packing. We wanted ride in various locations of Krokonose, that's why this year we went by car (it's good to be mobile and not dependent on train schedules).
First days were really tropical, temperatures rising up to 35 degrees (not a great condition for a biking )... Still it was quite cool in comparison with 42 degrees in Slovakia during this week :).
We did some biking near Snezka. It was nice and challenging, the ascends are really steep and it's all the time up and down, like a roller-coaster ;). What was not that cool is the total ban for cyclists on some of the tracks (due to the high level of nature protection). That means that you cannot reach Snezka on bike (even though there is tarmac road almost to the top :(... ).
Nevertheless we have reached the summit (on foot), it was great and long trek through the surrounding beautiful nature. It was quite crowded up there. Many, many Czech and Polish tourists (most of them using a cablecar to get there) were parading around (some of them in very inappropriate shoes and clothes)...
To have a break from Krkonose we have also seen the Adrspach Rocks. Situated not far, this small sandstone area is decorated with hundreds of great and bizarre rocks. I really recommend it to your attention. It's worth the detour.
We spent one day in the vicinity of Harrachov. The track was really nice, yet this was the only day with heavy rain, so it was not that much fun ;). But we are strong and get through this foulness :). The evening sights were worth the long wait in the pub.
And finally we have planned some trip to near Poland, to see their side of the mountains. It was not bad, with a lot of untouched nature and minimum of tourists. While riding towards the foreign country we saw many military forts from the time of WW2. This region is full of them, even though they never served their purpose (due to the Munich pact)...
So this is it, more then 300kms on the bike, around 30kms on foot and a lot of positive energy from the nature. That's the result of the last week in Krkonose. I loved it :).

.when you miss somebody...

.you probably know that feeling, when you desperately want to be with somebody and she is not around, she is so far away... The feeling when the words told over the phone or the internet are just not enough. The only thing that matters is to be close to the person, to laugh together, walk together and to breath the same air.
The time is getting so slow, lazily passing by, torturing your heart with seconds that take ages. Your mind is telling you the wait will be over, just be patient. But heart never listens to such reasoning, heart is just sad and lonely. Sad and lonely, frantically awaiting the end of the wait. Dreaming about the happiness...

.welcome back!

.yet another erasmus stay is over. Our friend Milan is back from Slovenia with a handful of adventures and experiences. If you want to take a look at this magnificent place, try his website...

We have had a small welcome pub meeting to celebrate this event and to meet, talk and share some thoughts with our friends. Up to 12 people gathered in Svijany pub to try some special beer, digest some not so special food ;) and have a good time, while outside there was only rain and cold wind :(.
Yeah, the weather is playing some ugly tricks this week, my plans to go biking into the mountains are quite ruined. But that is a different topic...

.to Nitra and beyond...

.this day was not an easy one. I'm really tired, while writing this done. Yet it was completely worth the pain ;).

I needed to get the car from Kosice to Prague (as it'll be needed for some planned trips to Krkonose and Germany). We had a deal with two other people that they'd keep me company but at last I was about to drive alone (it's 750km so someone to keep you awake is a big help...). So what...

It takes approximately 7,5 hours to get to the destination. So I took off at 7 AM and got to Prague at half past 10 PM. Kind of not making any sense to you :)? It has a pretty straightforward explanation. I did a short stop at Surany and Nitra to meet with my very, very special friend Lubica. The weather was not very friendly, it was cloudy, very windy and cool all the time. Nevertheless we have spent a wonderful time together and have had a lot of fun (as always) :)...
Nitra is a nice historical town. As I was running on a bit tight schedule, we have seen only the most important sights (Kalvaria, Castle, historical town and hill Zobor with its beautiful views on the whole town).
Sadly, after 7 hours of fooling around and one farewell cappuccino I had to go. Prague was awaiting me and it was still 350kms to go. On the other hand it was a beautiful time spent behind the wheel, as I was driving towards the setting sun :). Really nice!

Wow, what a day this was :)!
