We have been packing, we have been moving, we have been unpacking for days on ends, discarding and purchasing, putting things in place and decorating - until we were simply too exhausted to even breathe.
Then, just when we thought we were done, another kind of packing was set in place.
Before we even got the chance to enjoy our new home, we set out on a sixteen hour drive south, in order to savor the beauty of the majestic mountain range of central Europe, frolicking in sunshine and snow. Our skiing vacation, planned last summer, did not coincide very well with out move - but I guess the best in life is unplanned.
The beauty of the European Alps is breathless and the time we get to spend gazing at the snow covered mountain peaks, priceless.
And yet, once it is time to say our good byes, we will not feel sadness leaving all this splendor behind. Rather we will with joy look forward to return to our brand new home.

ooh it's all so exciting! Eagerly awaiting the tour of your new home xx
Alps have the magnetic attraction and you have captured the reason for this so well Zuzana:)
Beautiful mountains. The break will have done you good and made you ready to embrace your new home.
I'm going to be honest: I am green with envy. I want to be there!
Haven't been on my (annual, before the recession) skiing holiday for 4 years, and I miss it so much.
Magnificent blue skies and pristine white snow, an unbeatable combination.
Please enjoy on the double on my behalf!
Oh Zuzana, I remember it all so well - the endless packing that is! And, of course, the endless unpacking at the other end. Enjoy your new home - I hope you will be very happy there.
The skiing holiday looks amazing and was probably just what you needed x
I've never seen the Alps...they are stunning. I would be scared to death to ski down them. The only skiing I liked was cross country. After moving I bet you all enjoyed a vacation.
I think you're right - the best in life is unplanned. Glad you're having a fun unplanned but planned vacation. i know you'll enjoy your new home for many years to come. It'll be nice getting home. I'm going through a transition too, except that I'm moving to a smaller, older house that we're redecorating. At our age it's time to downsize. I'll miss my current house, whicih is my White House on the hill.
Preciosas imagenes y el sitio espectacular...saludos Tony

The mountains are beautiful. I love mountains. Around here they are always snow peaked.

I'm sure it was a fun break. And now.. home sweet home.
Hello Zuzana! This is indeed a marvellous place. Beautiful mountains… and indeed the snow! what would we be without the snow, I ask you? :-)))
The snow is the name of the game, the snow is the name of my country…
Lucky you. May you be happy for another century (a local saying). :-)
Dear Zuzana, Best wishes on your new home! I'm so glad you took the time to relax and enjoy your skiing trip. Those mountains! I used to live in the mountains in Colorado, but the Alps top them I think! Gorgeous. Hope the move is going smoothly,
Hugs,
Sherry
