Day 29 - September 29th 2001

We started the day with breaky and went shopping for the evening. We visited Zuz’s great grandmother and when we got there the in-laws were there. After a bit of a chat we all left. Lunch was had and a lot of zuz’s family began to arrive for her grandmother’s birthday celebrations. Plenty of food, sweet and drinks were consumed. Met plenty of the extended family and a good time was had by all. Starting to understand Czech a little more so that made it more fun for me. Basically a relaxing family day.

Day 30 – 30th of September

This morning we went to the zoo and meet some more of the family. Walking around the zoo, yakking and feeding the seals. Also seeing Horny moose, pigs, zubr, bears and birds. Back for lunch and developing a new motto “Kava, kakat, pohoda : )” Arrived back home in Brno and we got ready to go ad meet up with Zuzy’s friend Lucka. Zuzka could not make it but it was fun to meet Lucka. All be it a little too short. We shared some laughs and drinks. Beam was on sale so I had a few. A glass of coke and a nip of bourbon in another glass is how they serve it. Weird, but still tasted as good.

Day 31 – 1st of October

Basically a relaxation day, other than the stress of asking the in-laws for Zuz’s hand. Had been practicing for a while and still could not get it right. In the end we decided on ‘Data me ya za zenu’ ‘Prosim, prosim, smutne kokum’ ‘to bela fushka’ How hard does that seem? Caught the tram into town to put some films in for developing and to buy a nice bottle of bubbly and flowers. There were also some people doing an archaeological dig in the middle of the city next to the church. Digging up bones and stuff. Had a chat, very interesting.

Then time came for the stressful question. I stumbled my way through it and it ended up with dad saying sit down, I have some questions. Oh boy. It all went off without a hitch and the ok was given, Phew.
