Typical Czech home baked christmas cookies. The one in the center was a special one for me. Because I'm Dutch and I like mushrooms (...) and bicycles.

With this group of people I participated in a running competion. The conditions were quite different from what I was used to. The traject was only 4 km, but the difference in height between start and finish was 390 meter. And there was about 0,5 meter of snow on the path.

From the main road, the "path" to the chalet was a few hunderd meters long.
