Travelog post for: Shesh

Hi Mum

Today we visited Hrad Valdštejn which once was in the possession of the famous Wallenstein, the supreme commander of the army of the Habsburg monarchy during the Thiry Years' War in the 17th century. The castle is situated about 4 km away from Turnov in the forest. On the way to it we passed the Hlavatice rock with its viewing platform and I learnt that unlike in German the Czech word "strom" has got nothing to do with water but means "tree". It already started to rain when we were still visiting the castle and didn't stop until we got back to the hotel. We had planned to have a look around the city of Turnov in the afternoon but because of the rain nuriayasmin went alone and we TV's stayed at the hotel so that we wouldn't get wet.

Bye,
Shesh
