Flew for Spain to Krakow, Poland where Alison's relatives picked us up at the airport. Ostrava is in the eastern edge of the Czech Republic, so Krakow is the closest major airport. On the way back we got a beautiful tour of the Polish & Eastern Czech countryside. On the first day we met Georgia & her son Vaclav, who showed us around throughout the Czech Republic. The above picture is me and next to me is Georgia and next to her is her sister-in-law, and the little girl is Sarah, her sister-in-law's granddaughter.
During our visit we were first brought out a plate of warm homemade apple strudel!! It was wonderful and made by Sarah's mom, Ivana. Then a little while later Ivana brings out a plate of wienerschnitzel, which again was out of this world. Also there at the house was Georgia's brother, Peter, and their mother and also Ivana's husband. Everyone was very friendly and really did a great job with their English. The next picture is Vaclav & his wonderful family.
On day two we went to a early traditional Czech village with wooden buildings where there was a man that made handmade wooden toys & horns. In another exhibit there was a area that showed how they would slaughter a pig & make sausage .
On day three we went to a Czech auto museum where we saw some really unique vehicles, like the one with the propeller & skis. The top one is their first model & the other one was a interesting design with the fin down the back. There were many other vehicles that had great designs.
