My Travel Adventures

One of the more bizarre sights in our neighbourhood is a “pseudo-menhir” that was erected near the village Mořinka on the 31 st of December 1999. Likely due to the momentousness of the date (I believe I previously shared my thoughts about nitpickers who make a big deal over the correct demarcation of decades/centuries/millennia, and I simply do not care), the authors allegedly used the occasion to hide messages for future generations under the rock. A few years later, the menhir was joined by a concrete armchair.

Unlike last week, we had beautiful weather during our trip this weekend (after all, I only started seriously entertaining the idea of going anywhere after I was almost certain the skies would stay as blue as they had turned around noon). Choosing a destination was almost as difficult as getting there, as the castles and chateaux worth seeing that I have not yet seen are increasingly more difficult to find and increasingly far away from where I live. Mníšek pod Brdy was a whole forty minutes by car, but the picturesque neoclassical chateau was worth it, as was the somewhat dilapidated chateaux in Svinaře that we visited on our way back.
