My Travel Adventures

During my brief stay at home this summer – which I have informally dubbed my Eurosummer – my sister’s endless badgering led us to undertake exactly one domestic trip. Her desired destination was Loket Castle, a sight that lies about an hour and a half west of Prague. Situated on a peninsula within the bend of the Ohře River , Loket can only be approached by a series of narrow winding paths that lead to the centrally located Masaryk Square. Scarcity means that parking is limited to two hours, so we had to strategically plan lunch around feeding cash into the parking meter.  

Caving in before my sister’s foolhardy insistence, I agreed to go on a trip with her on the most inauspicious day possible. The interesting thing about my sister is that somehow, she always finds a weather forecast that says it will be sunny when all other forecasts predict rain. If prompted, she would no doubt be able to find a weather app that would tell us there isn’t a single cloud in the sky during a downpour.
