Canada- Part 2

...alebo skoré ranné vstávanie a studená ( namiesto horúcej Bikram ) jóga

Prvých pár dní v Toronte sme sa " vďaka " jet lag-u

zobúdzali naozaj skoro... ešte pred slnkom

Tak sme to využili na ranné plávanie a jacuzzi - ovanie a jógu

na 27.!!! poschodí hotela...

P.S. Výhľad bol naozaj fantastický. V pozadí s Toronto tower

P.S2. A s ďalekohľadom by sme dovideli až na Niagarské...možno ;-)))

...or early morning waking up and cold ( on instead of hot Bikram ) yoga

For the first few days in Toronto, we kept waking up really early,

thanks to jet lag

even before the sun rose...

Feeling full of energy, we decided to use the extra hours

in the swimming pool and jacuzzi on the 27.!!! floor of the hotel

and by doing some early bird yoga postures...

P.S. The view was fantastic ! Toronto tower at our level.

P.S2. We could perhaps see as far as the Niagara falls...

with the right equipment of course ;-)))

Canada - Part 1

Práve sme sa vrátili z našej druhej svadobnej cesty

( to len my tak voláme,

lebo ja som od malička chcela ísť na svadobnú cestu do Kanady )

Bolo tak dobre...

Dávno sme sa necítili takto spokojne a šťastne...

(jediné negatívum je že Hippinko musel zostať domka)

Ale to nie je vina Kanady

Celé dobrodružstvo začalo na Niagarských vodopádoch...

Neuveríte ale Jožko ich po prvýkrát zbadal

cez okno mužských záchodov...

Hneď po mňa pribehol a

potom sme už len spolu stáli na špičkách

a pozerali na ten zázrak prírody

cez špinavé záchodové okno

a smiali sa nad absurdnosťou tejto situácie...

P.S. Pre Jožka mal tento výlet ešte aj iný rozmer...

Po asi 17 rokoch zasa stretol svojho bratranca Paľa ( a jeho Petru tiež )

To bolo radosti...

P.S2. jedli sme v ten deň v tzv.Swiss chalet - McDonald severu,

ktorý síce nemá so Švajčiarskom nič spoločné, ale chutiť to nám chutilo.

We have just returned from our second honeymoon in Canada

( we called it honeymoon,

because I have always wanted to go to Canada for mine )

It was amazing....

We didn't feel this good and happy for a VERY long time

( the only drawback being that we had to leave Hippie behind @ home )

But I guess, we can't blame that on Canada ;-)

The whole adventure started at Niagara Falls...

Believe it or not, Jozko first saw them ( yes, the Falls )

through the window of a male toilet...!

He immediately ran to get me

and there we were,

inside the toilets,

standing on our tiptoes to get a better view,

looking through a grubby grey window,

watching this amazing creation of Nature

and laughing at the absurdity of the situation...

P.S. This trip had another important dimension for Jozko too.

After approximately 17 years he got to see

his long time no see cousin Palo

( and we got to meet his Petra too ;-)

P.S2.We ate at the Swiss chalet restaurant that day.

It is kind of a MacDonald of the North

and despite having nothing in common with Switzerland

the food was lovely and there were smiles everywhere...

Chatsworth House II or Light vs Darkness

Na druhej strane je tu však Svetlo...

Ak je tma líc, je svetlo rubom

Ak je tma yin, je svetlo yangom

Ak je tma nocou, je svetlo dňom

Matematicky povedané : Tma je A. Svetlo je B. A je opakom B. :-))

Čo v sebe skrýva svetlo ?

Teplo ( domova napríklad ),

vedomie a uvedomovanie si že som ( tu a rada ),

objavovanie všetkého nového a predtým neznámeho

( čítanie, cestovanie ale aj obyčajný rozhovor medzi dvoma Ľuďmi ),

lásku, rodinu, mláďatká,

využitý čas...

On the other hand, however, there is the Light.

If darkness is a night, light is a day

If darkness is Yin, light must be Yang

If darkness is a dream, light is a dream come true

Mathematically speaking :

Darkness is A. Light is B. A is the opposite of B. ;-)

Light is a family,

light is a friend,

light is the ability to learn

to discover

to read

to be Human

to love and create

to smile...

( for me anyway )

Chatsworth house or Darkness vs Light

Svetlo a temnota... a ich nikdy nekončiaci súboj o moju priazeň

Čo v sebe skrýva čierna farba ?

Noc, tmu, tiene, tajomstvá , strach a strašidlá,

všetko ošúchané, zaprášené

zabudnuté ale aj tajne si pamätajúce,

veci stratené a činy neodpustiteľné,

samotu a bolesť...

To je jedna strana tmy...

Je v nej skrytý ale aj spánok, sny a pokoj v duši,

všetko zatiaľ neznáme, neobjavené a nedotknuté...

Je moja myseľ teda skôr tmou...?

P.S. Verte, či nie, ale domček na fotke je iba fatamorgána,

maliarova fantázia

Light and Darkness...they never stopped fighting for my attention

What is Darkness, really ?

Night, shadows,secrets, fears and skeletons ,isolation,mysteries,

all that is forgotten but not forgiven,

things lost but quietly remembered...

That is however only one side of the blackness ( the dark one ;-)).

Only in total darkness can I sleep and dream,

not rationalise but only feel (why else would it intensify senses ),

find peace and quiet,

it is the realm of things unknown, yet to be found, discovered...

I often wonder, do I prefer blindness, unawareness... to light?

P.S. Believe it or not, the house on the picture is

only a painter's phantasy, a photograph of a painting

What a difference six months make !

Takto sme začínali... It all started like this...

Maličký, nevinný a tichý... Tiny, innocent and quiet...

Hovorí sa, že jeden z najrýchlejšie rastúcich živočíchov

na tejto planéte je chobotnica. Vraj ak by ľudia rástli rovnakým tempom

vyzerali by minimálne ako veľryby ( a to približne po roku života ).

They say one of the fastest growing species on our planet is squid.

If humans grew at the same rate they would very

soon ( perhaps after a year or two ) look like whales .

Ja si to však nemyslím...

Podľa mňa je najrýchlejšie rastúcim zvieratkom náš Hippie...

Však pozrite...

However, I think that is rather incorrect.

They (the scientists ) forgot to include our own Hippie...

Have a look yourself...

Stovežatá Praha alebo Slovenka si berie Škóta...

A je po svatbe...

Bolo perfektne, aj slnečno a aj upršano, aj vyprážano syrovo, a aj kolášovo, a vínkovo pivkovo, ale hlavne bratovo sestrovo a priateľskovo a nie v poslednej rade aj Žižkovovo...

Jedna s piesní ktorá nám už navždy bude rezonovať v hlavách pri spomienke na tento víkend

je aj táto...

..........I am gonna be............

Počuli sme ju naživo v medzinárodnom podaní Škóta, Čecha a usmievavej Švédky...

Another wedding party is over...

It was a weekend full of yin and yang, sun and rain, fried cheese and healthy fruit and veg,

wine and beer, male and female, but above all brother and sister and friends and Žižkov...

One of the songs that will always and forever remind us

of this weekend is

.........I am gonna be ...........

In our memory played by a group of a Scotchman, Czech and a smiley Swedish girl...

Happy Days ...or We are Family

Prežili sme 15 krásnych dní... ako ( skoro ) kompletná rodinka...

Axelík a Hippie and úplne super počasíčko, nič viac nám k štastiu nechýba...

Dnes ale už Axelík odlieta naspäť do Švajčiarska...17.15 z Heathrowu.

Odkedy odišli Hippinko len smutne sedí a vyzerá ich či sa už vracajú...

A ja tiež...

We have just had the best 15 days ...as a ( almost ) complete Family...

Axel and Hippie and the weather being absolutely gorgeus...

just like heaven

Today is however the day when Axel goes back to Switzerland...

...17.15 from Heathrow

Since they have gone Hippie has been looking exceptionally sad,

sitting by the door and waiting for them to come back ...

I have to admit I am doing the same thing too...
