A few impressions and photos from my summer European vacations
I have used all my accumulated vacation and personal business days, and set off on June 24 with my daughters Eva
and Zuzana once more for Europe. The first 14 days we toured mainly France and Italy in
a rented car, and the next month we spent in Czechia and its vicinity.

A quiet canal in Venice, Italy; not too far from the famous bustling Piazza San Marco,
but such a different quiet place.

a machine translation of my much more detailed Czech version of this page
At least some of it should be understandable.
