Forging Family and The Cairn of Peace

Our second and last full day in Czechia had us exploring Steve (and Xavier's) ancestry. We picked up Steve's dad and headed to the village where Steve's dad grew up,  visited the family gravesite, and even saw the blacksmith foundary his great grandfather founded and is now a museum. 

Then we made our way to Prace to see the Cairn of Peace, the monument erected to celebrate the peace brokered between the French, Austro-Hungary Empire,  and the Russian Empire after Napoleon soundly kicked all their butts. The museum was fascinating,  and the only part that was air conditioned was the entrance where we spent the most of our time trying to figure out the ticket fees. 
The views from the hill were amazing.  

We made it back to our hotel to grab dinner and get rest before our next big travel day.

Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli and Napoli

Today was SUPPOSED to be a "light" day,  though I think Steve and I have different definitions of "light". We started with a light breakfast outside of the hotel and visited Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.  The museum is in what was I've a 17th century palace,  inhabited by a ruler who only cared to show off his status and wealth by collecting and displaying rare artifacts. He also had a "solar clock room", which was an expansive gallery room with a long mural ceiling where he had engaged mathematicians and astronomers to construct a working zodiac clock that would tell the time of the year by the sun's position at local noon every day. Unfortunately,  due to timing and cloud cover, we did not get to see the marvel,  though the room was still impressive.  Pompeii artifacts including mosaics and musical instruments.  At the metro stop, we came across an impressive statue that left Xavier giggling.  And then we continued on by me...

Travel Day: Train to Rome, Train to Civitavecchia, then Overnight Ferry!

We started with a hotel breakfast,  etch was an. .. interesting affair. They far a tortilla,  which looked like tortilla  Española,  except... pasta. I has giggles,  and then disappointment.  And on to the train station!  Here we go to Rome! (Briefly,  only have a 1/2 hour connection to get to our Civitavecchia train.) We,  uh, missed our connection in Rome. And melted a wheel off one of the suitcases (and burned Steve's hand trying to fix it) trying to make it. But,  eventually,  we did make it on a train going to Civitavecchia. All is good,  I have been reunited with paprika Pringles. Mmmmm. Dinner in Civitavecchia, and a view that certainly doesn't suck. Got to our ferry, and tucked into our noon-air conditioned cabin for the night. Au last we had a view of the sea from our room.

AND WE'RE OFF

Getting to the airport with plenty of time to spare keeps me from getting too stressed out, and it also makes it so we hit Burgerville to make sure the child will actually eat lunch and not get hangry somewhere over the mountains. So,  imagine my surprise when we did just that.  Boarding is in about 1/2 hour and I'm ready for my first drink.  Next stop,  Amsterdam!
