Eeek - just a week left...

...and still so much to do. G and the kids being in a car accident on Friday means that although they're all fine (yay!) the car is now at the panel beaters which is going to make doing stuff a little tricky. So that wasn't great timing, but at least no-one was hurt.

Getting really nervous about the flight due to the last time I flew being years ago, and a bumpy ride. What happened to the 20-year old I once was who flew here, there and everywhere without batting an eyelid? Motherhood's made me a wuss!

Raph, on the other hand, is soooo excited. We lay on his bed last night talking about how we imagine it's going to be and I was explaining to him how things are on the plane (not the bumpy bits, the other stuff) - it's all a huge adventure for him. And for me.

Not so happy to hear the weather there is a bit up and down - was looking forward to a month of summer, but then Cape Town's been so stunning this winter I can't really complain.

Have been checking out (yes ha ha) a bunch of blogs by people who have been to Czech and figuring out some of the things I really want to do / see inbetween just chilling in rural Bohemia.

I'm definitely thinking this has to be on the list:

Make a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the world's best beer - the Pilsner Urquell Brewery in Plzeň, in West Bohemia (website: www.prazdroj.cz).

And then for the goosebump factor - Get the creeps at Sedlec Ossuary, where the centuries-old bones of around 40,000 people have been crafted into a stunning display of garlands, chandeliers, sculptures and coats of arms (website: www.kostnice.cz).
