Spindler Mlyn

Girls have returned. We had a great time. The days were in the 30's and the sun was shinning until the last day. Hours were spent at the Aquapark and Bobsledding. N never slowed down the whole time. I'm glad to be back in Prague for a rest.

Spindler is within the Krkonose Mountains (Giant Mountains in English) that boarder Poland. The area is a popular ski resort area. During the summer it transforms itself into a summer adventure sports haven. For $65AUS you can go tandem paragliding(unfortunately I couldn't convince N). Other sports include high ropes, quadbiking, giant swing, MTBiking. But most people(mainly Germans) go there to walk the many trails.

N and I caught a bus to Spindleruv Bouda(30min)
, which is the border town with Poland, and walked across the border and along the top of the Krkonose.
This photo is looking down into Poland. There were lots of wild flowers and lots of butterflies....which helped to entertain and encourage N to keep walking. This is the Czech side! This is the red walking track to Snezka 1602m.

I have to give it to the Czechs for their affordable and extensive public transport system. We caught the metro as far east as possible(Cerny Most - IKEA stop). At the metro is a bus depot...for $11AUS N & I caught a bus all the way to Spindleruv Mlyn(3hours).
