Let's move!

Today we went to Mělník, an ancient town that became famous mainly due to grapevine cultivation. We wandered around the castle, we went down the cellar and we ended with a wine testing in one of the caves. The wine… not good to be honest, but the palace worth’s a visit!! Curious maps of some European cities.















Next stop Kokorin castle. Not visible from most points as it is hidden within the valley. The castle was built up in 1320 by Mr. Hynek Berka from Dube, and was lived in up to the half of 16th century, then it stayed empty and turned into a ruin. The bastion houses tall ramparts, deep ditches, and a tower, like taken from a Romanesque novel. Better if you take the wooden steps among the trees, until Kokorin's majestic tower becomes visible. Then it's over a wooden bridge over a deep ditch, and you're there. The interior is not up to scratch, but I recommend the surroundings.






On Sat we started moving our stuff to the new house. From Thursday we’ll be living in the "black sea" - Černomorška. The apartment is beautiful, I love it. It will take us some time to furnish it, but we’re not in a hurry!! Aramis seemed to like it, by the way he’s much better now.
