Czech Easter Tradition

In Easter day is usually in Czech Republic girls get hit by a pole made of salix wood, so they can give the boys some traditional painted eggs =) all they have to say while spanking is...

" hody hody doprovody,
dejte vejce malovaný
nedáte-li malovaný
dejte aspoň bílý,
slepička vám snese jiný"

Kubova Hut', finally a trip to the mountains.

And we made it to Kubova Hut' after losing one train and getting drunk in every city we stopped ahaha


First day we had to go all the way up to Boubin the highest hill in Sumava mountain, if i'm not mistaken... the trip up was incredible and the way down was even better going through paths hidden by the snow.


Second day was with no doubt the most intense day of walking, with snow up to my knee... walking was terrible but the things i saw and learned where definetly worth it. We went to the source of the vlatava river, the one that crosses Prague, also we where in the border with Germany in a forest area destroyed by beettles, that creat an outstanding landscape.


Of course my crew for this trip had to be foresters ahaha, and specilly Raimon! I told you we would go to the mounstais!!

Well a big thanks to tomas who invited us and gave us a big help and a wonderful time, of course it is eater time and i got to know some czech traditions, very nice ones muahahahaha.

Urbino, last stop in Italy



Urbino, hometown of renaissence man Raphael.
Small city but still wonderful place, located in a
hillnot far from Rimini or Ancona,
seems to me like a magical place.
After already being in Venice or in Florece
this place was a very good surprise to me,
i didn't expect to be so incredible.

Dolce Ancona



Feels good to go back to Ancona, very nice city and with wonderful people! It was a very nice time spent in Italy, finally i go back to a country that has good food! It was a relief for some days... And put some italians to speak portuguese too.
I like this city a lot but is a better place in the summer hehe
