sunny time in the mountains

so i was invited to visit my friends and their parents in a lovely new build cottage in jizerske hory. and since i don't have a car, i had to figure out how to get there by bus, strangely it was pretty straightforward and in under two hours i was there. and it was not even midday, it was freezing and sunny and there was snow everywhere. lots of snow. it was like being in a little winter fairytale.

when i woke up the next day, i had to get some fresh mountain air to my room, the sun was just rising, it was amazing!

unfortunately for me, i have arrived with bit of a cold (and lost my voice during the first night), so i was not able to enjoy the nearby ski slope. i did not stay at home though, i had to at least check out the local "ski-stall" and their "krakonosuv kelimek" (cappucino with amaretto) - they also sell another crowd-pleaser "vlekarovo tajemstvi" (hot chocolate with coconut liquer) - i will definitely have that one next time when i return there :)

overall it was a great day and a half, i wish i had more time to stay there longer. it was not just the snow and the surroundings that i have enjoyed, it was the company too. very nice time i had.
