ok hai!
i've been waiting for quite a long time to go for a hike, i just neeeddd a moment to let it all out. acewah poyo. and so, i went to Prachovské skály, Český ráj 2 days ago. ahahaa, i knowwww its not summer to go for hiking, yaaww, its still autumn, the weather ain't that bad, so i can't just waste this moment bebehh
Anyway, i skipped Emergency class since i went there on weekdays, haha ni kalau ibu ayah tau ni for sure kena bebel ponteng kelas, tapi takpelah, sekali sekala, bukannya selalu wat pon hehe. and semalam ada credit Emergency, nice tak nice tak hahaha, fewwhh alhamdulillah lepas.
Went out for the early train at 7am from Neredin and took the train heading to Pardubice station. But then i missed the bus that heading straight to Jicin. So i had to go to Hradec Kralove and took the bus from there. and and andddd kat Hradec, there's one decent (and sooooo good looking) , which his name i forgot, helped me, showing me the way to the main bus station kt HK, dating jap, lol. so comel hahaha

| thanks to Aainaa for the camewaa |
 |
| vain moment sekali sekala hahaa |
 |
| omg what have i done hahaa |
The journey to Jicin from HK took about an hour, ahaa festaim gak naik bas pergi ke hujung dunia kat czech ni, i mean naik bas sorang2, tapi wasn't that bad, but hey , i have the whole day for myself, best gak kalau sesat ni. Arrived at Jicin about 1.30 pm, and took a taxi from the main station of Jicin to Prachovské skály. The taxi driver was a bit confused when i told him that i wanna go hiking. Probably its either too late to start hiking (12pm) or because i came alone by myself, or why bother to come at this kind of weather hhaha. tapi lek la brader, nothing is impossible ok!

| to Jicin yoshhh! |

| nampok tak muka saitedd terpancar di wajahku |
Prachovske skaly, or if di'yinglish'kan ; it means Prachov Rock Formation. It is said that this place is one of the best-known rock cities in Bohemian region of Czech republic. as for Cesky Raj, which means Czech Paradise, this town is ranked among the most popular destination UNESCO geopark.
ok, about the hiking trails, there were 2 routes ; and i did underestimate the trails difficulty. hahaha. rasa cam alaa 5km jek? kacang je kot lol. So, i went for the longer trail, which was the green trail. this trail supposedly will take me to the highest viewpoint, top Privysina hill. however, this trail i find it a bit steep, some parts are easy, some parts are descents, but they also have stairs, so you don't need a rope, or climbing using bare hands, some parts with narrow passages between rocks and between steep stairs. There's a sign (route colours) to help you getting to the right way, so its entirely up to us which hike to choose. and to make it more interesting, i actually salah baca yg sebenarnya longer trail tu actually 45km, waddahekkkkkk!!

| bendera PAS is everywhere lolz |
there's not much of hikers during that day, probably because of the weather, and only the chosen ones choose to hike at this time hikss. Anyway, the stairs and walking trails are very helpful and manageable for everyone, even toddlers or grandparents can go hiking here hehe. And the trails are mostly mild sloping unpaved tracks, matted with pine needles, linden leaves and tree roots worn smooth by thousands of boots. i only wore sport shoes since i left my lovely hiking shoes at home in Malaysia sobss. No boots, but still can survive ;)
This place is so beautiful. Subhanallah, subhanallah! Nature never seizes to amaze me. This is a place of tranquility and serenity. aaaa ale it was pretty windy, i walked quite fast because i couldn't stand for long, my fingers and feet were starting to go numb and aching.huaa kacauu sungguh.
 |
| spoookyyyy |
 |
| lonesome serenity |
 |
| well, can you look at that outstanding rocks, subhanallah! |
This place is really amazing. Nature never seizes to amaze me. However, there was one problem ahead. i was RUNNING OUT OF BATTERY, all of my gadgets were running out of battery. i smell TROUBLE. hahahaaa. ok, no time to get nervous, i just got to get the hell out of this place. haha kelaka, adrenaline rush nak sangat, nah amek kauu! so i speed up a lil bit, and and andd stilll i have to hike in the dark. it was already pretty late, almost 4pm. Biasalah, kan festaim datang, sure la nak amek gmbar banyak2, so banyak bazir masa kat situ, i could have finish hiking before 4pm, since i started at 1.30pm, coz the estimated time for this green trail is 2hours. aihh
 |
| tula nak bergambo sangat, kan da terperangkap sensorang kat dalam hutan, padan muka kau |
but anyway, i did managed to get on top of the viewpoints, but as for the pictures, ada tangkap first 4 viewpoints, T__T tapi takpelah, yang penting aperrr? niat! my intention is to find serenity, YES YES YES, this is a journey to find peace in me, yes bebeh. persetankan gambar2 *i'm crying inside thinking of those dying batteries, whyy you must die on that very particular moments T__T *
 |
| le travel buddy, Pablo is oso wimmeh |
 |
| yesss i found serenity :) |
anyway, i went back at around 5pm, found my way out of there, alhamdulillah. i am so glad that i survived. haha sebaik tak mati kat dalam hutan sorang2 kene makan dengan musang ke, ok merepek.
ehh, i must write about this fairy-tale city of Jicin. anyone who wanna go to Prachovske Skaly, or visiting Cesky Raj, it is definitely a must to visit this place. So comel, one of the most picturesque cities in Czech republic. and to go to Prachovske Skaly, there's 2 ways, either via Turnov (another town of Cesky Raj) or Jicin. i read reviews from some hikers recommend to go to Jicin instead of Turnov, because they say it is more attractive. hoho, ok la. not so bad, i didn't spend much time there. so , i didn't do much to explore this countryside. haihh
 |
| comel kan bandar Jicin ni |
aha, but for this adventure, i did learn a huge lesson. Wanderers have an exhilarating advantage in that they are used to being on their own and comfortable and content being on their own. Ultimately, knowing how to manage and survive and achieve alone is a blessing. Summed up : INDEPENDENCE.
tapi , untuk datang lagi sekali ke tempat ni next time hmmmm, takpelah kot, wanna venture some other places for me to conquer! hehe, all in all, i am grateful for my life lessons!
