I can't believe another year is over. For me it has been pretty stressful and bittersweet year, with finals in high school, entrance exams to uni and then going to uni also wasn't the easiest thing. All this can be easily forgetten with the four month worth of holiday that followed the finals.  I took this time to travel and explore, as you can see in the photos below. The stress for me though does not end quite yet, because I now have semestral finals in uni, so wish me luck! I wish you all the best to the new year, hope it's gonna be an amazing one, and who know? Maybe some of your deepest, darkest secrets will come true this year.

Nemůžu uvěřit, že další rok je za náma. Pro mě to byl rok docela dost stresující a hořkosladký, protože jsem maturovala, dělala přímačky na vysokou, a nástup na ni taky nebyl zrovna nejklidnější. Tohle všechno ale vyvažují ty čtyřměsíční prázdniny, které jsem měla.  Ta hromada stresu mě ale nyní neopouští, jelikož mě čeká zkouškový, takže mi držte palce!  Přeju Vám všechno nejlepší do nového roku, ať se Vám daří, a třeba i splní nějaká ta tajná přání.

 Italy. Italy is one of those places I've always wanted to visit, so my mom, being the best mom in the whole universe, took me as a present for passing finals (aka maturita). We went to Rome, where we of course had to visit the basic sights like Coloseum, Forum Romanum, Vatican, and so on. Since I was little I have always loved history, so seeing the places where all that I've been learning about happend was just beyond. The only downside was that when we were there, it was like 60 degrees out, but a lot of their delicious ice cream got me over that. We also visited Vesuv and Pompeii, which also was...I can't even find words. After Pompeii we went to a little town nearby, which was also hit by the volcanic eruption. We went to a beach there, and the sand there, well, it's not even really a sand it's volcanic ashes and the beach is just black. Well, where the ash is dry it's more like grey, but whatever. On the last day, we went to Napoli, which is quite an interesting city, and the architecture there, when you know the stories it binds to, is really quite funny, but beautiful never the less. After that we went to Capri, and I think the pictures just speak for itself. 
 
 And here's one from Halloween. I absolutely love Halloween, it might just be my favourite holiday, even though we don't celebrate it in Czech Republic. I do.



This post would not be complete without pics from my favourite cafe's. The other one is from the first day I've been to Cafe la Fee in Olomouc. They have the best cakes! So if you're ever in Olomouc, definitely give it a go.

Jsem si jistá, že o Rainbow Runu jste už všichni, alespoň jednou slyšeli. Zaplatíte si registraci, dostanete balíček, který obsahuje tričko, sluneční brýle, pamětní list, šek v hodnotě 100 Kč pro oddělení dětské onkologie FN Brno, a samozřejmě balíček barev.

Na Rainbow Run jsem se strašně těšila, už jenom díky fotkám, kterých je internet plný. Nejsem zrovna sportovní, ani sportovně nadaný člověk, a tak jsem na běh jela především kvůli barvám a taky té zábavě. Věděla jsem, že s partou, se kterou jsem jela, si to užijeme, i kdyby jsme se neměly za celou dobu rozběhnout ani jednou.

Jelikož v den běhu bylo neskutečné horko, začala jsem mít po cestě docela obavy.

Když jsme dojely do Brna, radši jsme si hned na osvěžení koupily šťávu UGO, a hned poté se nacpaly do přeplněné tramvaje. Většina lidí mířila na Rainbow Run.

Pot z nás tekl ještě než jsme na místo akce vůbec dorazily.Vybíhali jsme sice ve čtvrt na šest, ale i v tu dobu bylo 33 stupňů ve stínu. A taky proto, přesně jak jsem předpokládala, jsme většinu trati šly.

I přesto, že jsme toho moc neuběhly, jsme se skvěle bavily a zúčastníme se i příští rok.

I'm sure everyone's heard about Rainbow Run at least once. You pay for the registration, and you get a package with t-shirt, sunglasses, certificate, check worth 100 Czech crowns for the pediatric oncology center in Teaching Hospital Brno as well as the package of colors.

I was looking forward to the Rainbow Run, even though I'm not a very sporty person. I was excited for the color throwing part, and all the fun I was sure we're going to have, even if we didn't start running once.

Because it was so hot the day of the event, I started to get a bit worried.

When we arrived at Brno, we bought UGO smoothies and headed for the crammed tram. Everybody was going to the Rainbow Run.

We were sweating profusely before we even started running. The run started at quarted past five but it was still 33 degrees. And therefore, as I presumed, we walked most od the track.

Nevertheless we had so much fun, and we're definitely participating next year.
