My H works abroad, which means we don't see each other all that often...but when we do, we know how to have a good time. A car, a full tank and an open road is what we love. This weekend was a holiday weekend in the Czech Republic. We did a bit of house work for a day or two and then decided we needed a break.
We got into the car and H started to drive. I'm usually the navigator but this time he knew where he was going and I was not in the loop. Our drive took us down some very narrow and curvy country roads. Good thing neither of us get motion sickness!
At the end of the road we stopped in an adorable, historical town called Rabštejn. The small house are maintained in their original style of the 19th century. There is a lovely 5k trail that runs through and around the village. The highlights along the trail are a hunting lodge that serves mouth-watering strudel, a rickety wooden bridge, a babbling brook and a Jewish cemetery.
On the way home we got a little turned around so we pulled into the parking lot of a monastery to check the map. Little did we know that they were holding a model airplane exhibition, although I accused my airplane enthusiast husband of planning the stop. We hoped out at Mariánský Týnec monastery and were welcomed into a lovely and warm place full of Czech cultural exhibitions showing traditional clothing, celebrations and household items.
What great surprises, planned and unplanned!
