Day One - Welcome to Czech Republic

It's a sunny Saturday in Brno. I'm waiting in front of the station Hlavní Nádraží with Mylene, my friend and colleague in the EVS volunteering.

Station Hlavní Nádraží

The first to arrive are Teodor and George, from Bulgaria. They just got off the train from Budapest and it's not difficult for them to recognize us as their welcome committee!
Soon we see two nice girls with huge luggage: they're Anna and Gayane from Armenia. Rather than waiting there for a hour, they have a look at the shops.
After it's time for Andrea and Hajnalka from Hungary, Natalia from Moldova, then the four girls from Georgia: Irina, Ia, Tatia and Nina.
Misha and Ana from Ukraine are already in the city from the morning, with their big backpacks. Elena and Stella from Greece seem a bit lost, but all of these nice people start to chat and get to know each other easily, while I keep an eye around (the main station is not exactly the safest place).
We meet Beata from Poland and Andy from Hungary. Thanks to the coordination with Aneta, everything works smoothly, finally also Bernard and Zach from Malta see us.
We board the train to Adamov, perfectly organised, and by the last bus we get to Švýcárna, our lovely mansion in the Josefov Valley where we'll spent a pleasant week.
Husniyya and Farida from Azerbaijan are already there, together with my local friend Jaša and the great supporters Aneta and Zuzka (and her upcoming daughter Karolina!).


Švýcárna


They all seem happy of being in the middle of the nature, far from the noisy daily life. Met Arpad from Hungary, the dinner starts and so the welcome party.

Our little friends!

Let's create the Golden Frame for this wonderful portrait!
