My Travel Adventures

The pictures below are from a trip I made to the city hall in my hometown Beroun. At the time, I was making my first attempt to get a voting pass so I could vote in the upcoming parliamentary elections from the Czech Embassy in London. To my surprise and consternation, I found out I was still registered to vote in New York, which necessitated me to formally request my removal from their list. Luckily, the workers of the Consulate in New York were very responsive, and I was able to pick up my voting pass in Beroun only several days later. Note for the future: unless planning to settle somewhere long-term, get a voting pass!

My last trip before departing for Oxford took me to the north of Central Bohemia again. Our first destination was the mountain Říp, though our first stop was the side of a road about ten kilometres away from it. The dog, who had apparently not been walked very thoroughly in the morning, began to prepare for a bowel movement inside the car, which necessitated an immediate emergency stop.

This weekend was presumably the year’s last warm and sunny weekend. Our family used the occasion to pay a visit to a relation near the northern city Liberec, where we gathered blueberries and mushrooms and made merry. The hills in the borderlands are very peaceful, and much of our visits consist of sitting on a terrace talking about how quiet it is.
