Tomorrow marks the final day of my incredible journey. After covering a vast distance, there remains only 70 kilometers separating me from the completion of this remarkable adventure. I’m confident that I will finish last leg of the trip with ease. l plan nothing big or spectacular upon arrival. My intention is simply to reach the hill that overlooks the village of my childhood, Sušice (Suschitz). Once there, I will pause, inhale deeply, let a smile grace my face for a minute, and then make my way to my parents’ house. I plan to share last post tomorrow.
Today has been a day filled with both joy and challenges. Shortly after enjoying a great breakfast, I embarked on the road once again. Upon arriving in Litomyšl, I’ve made a selfie with the sculpture of Bedřich Smetana, a renowned composer who continued to create beautiful music despite his deafness.
I will spare you from my boring fight against steep hills and gusty winds.
Later in the day, I encountered an unexpected random German Shepherd dog while navigating through the forest. Knowing well that attempting to outrun a dog would not be a good idea, I quickly realized the importance of maintaining a strong and confident stance. Although it must have looked funny, my efforts paid off as the dog ceased its approach and eventually left the scene.
Not long after that, I have passed highest security prison called Mírov. Next to the prison there were guards practicing shooting on shooting range.
Upon reaching Mohelnice, I promptly located my accommodation for the night. By a pure coincidence there was a public mass in the middle of the square.
To my surprise and delight, my father had traveled a considerable distance of 70 kilometers to join me and cheer me up. He kindly spoiled me with a delicious dinner, and together we indulged in some relaxing activities, such as visiting the pool and steam room. To top it off, he even arranged for a sports massage. I can’t help but feel unworthy of such generous gestures.
I wish you nice evening and see you tomorrow.
