Hi there! Welcome to my travel log. Usually, I don't take notes or keep a journal on my trips and travels. I rely completely on photos as they are self explanatory and are the best memory log. I hope you will enjoy them.

May 11, 2003 06:00 PM Dinner in Velvary - Hotel and Restaurant Zalozna
It was great travelling along the country side, there were wide landscapes as far as the eye can see. We later too a break and made a stop at Velvary where prior arrangements were made for the group to stop over for lunch. We did out bit to contribute to tourism in this somewhat out of the way Hotel. Velvary is not very well known but has some nice sights to offer to the visitor. I certainly enjoyed my dinner and the spectacular sunset from the town square.

May 11, 2003 06:00 PM Watching the Sunset from the Town Square
After dinner, we had a long journey ahead of us before we arrived in Ceske Budejovice. We took a few minutes to enjoy the remaining daylight before sun down and roamed for a bit around the town centre. It was very interesting to find a town which was quite deserted. I personally enjoyed the serenity Velvary offered during my short stay there.

Commanded by Major General A.I Makarenko met the US Army's 5th Infantry Division. Led by Major General a.E. Brown. On the Glorious days of May 1945. Let the Blood shed in their common fight against fascism be an everlasting warning to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of war."

I could never imagine the beauty of this national park without ever being there. It is a sight to be hold. The Erzgebirge Mountains of Sachsen resembles much of the Alps in Switzerland hence its Name the Switzerland of Saxony (Sachsen).

After trekking 1 hour and 45 minutes we finally reached the summit of the Mountain. Unfortunately I'm unable to recall the name of this place. The view of the Sachsische Schweiz is just spectacular and we spent an hour here for a picnic lunch.

I just loved cats and couldn't resist saying hi to Theo. The owner happened to step out and saw me padding his pet and mentioned that its name is "Theo". Not bad!
