Krkonose Giant Mountains.
We used to go to Krkonose mountains when I was a kid, to the cottage in Dolni Dvur. Owned by the government, and used by the employees of the Florenc bus terminal my father worked for. That time there was no lifts, so if you want to ski down, you had to walk up the hill first. We used to go there quite often, until my mothers ski accident in 1958. Other time I visited Krkonose was on a ski trip from the vocational school I was attending in Prague, CKD Praha. Last few times I had done some skiing in Krkonose was the winter before we left Czech Republic. Good friend of mine Jarda Sklenar, was working in Moravska Bouda mountain chalet as a waiter for winter seasons. To visit him on my weekends off, I traveled by the bus, and then walked from Spindleruv Mlyn, for couple of hours, up to chalet which is 1220 meters above the sea. Carrying all the equipment on my back in deep snow, wasn't fun. Hot toddy's always tasted good when I got there. It wasn't until Summer of 1990, when we traveled to Czech Republic on our vacation, that I had seen the Krkonose Giant Mountains, again. It had brought back some beautiful memories.
