The hills are alive




I didn't realize how long it had been since I had seen real nature (We haven't really left Prague) until I found myself lost in a National Park. Myself and two comrades went looking for a famed swimming pool fed by river water.

It took us about an hour and a half to find it, but really, we weren't even trying very hard because the rest of the park was so beautiful! First we found a giant mountainish rock (it looks small in this picture, but look hard at the tiny people standing on top), then roamed through bike trails in a dense forest. Then we were greeted by an expansive field so reminiscent of the opening scene of the Sound of Music that we had no choice but to spin around in the open and sing each song as we made our way to the pool.

We finally found the pool. We met 3 other friends there. It took them less than 8 minutes to find it. But we did not regret the excursion one bit.
