Time to leave - almost!

After a long day working on the Retreat Center, we had to vacate the Ellenwood home, because new travellers from Wisconsin (Three Lakes) were coming to visit. But the good news is that our final night in Northeastern CZ was going to be in the Josiah Venture's Hotel Melanovice. (Click here for Hotel info) The hotel was purchased as a little run-down hotel, and refurbished by Josiah Venture to be a true, self-sustaining, tourist filled hotel! They also use it to host English camps, retreats and seminars! This is where we will possibly stay when we return with a team next March.

The good news is that we would stay at a fabulous hotel - the bad news was that the blizzard was still blowing, and the little mountain-pass / driveway up the mountain was unfit for travel. So we had to HIKE up the hill for our final night!

The next morning, the snow was still flying as we prepared to make our way back to Prague. Thankfully, God lifted the storm just as we departed, and we had dry roads for most of our 4 hour journey! (AMEN)
