I got back home, but it was all a bit tough. First of all I had to start in 300m altitude lower than originally expected - not in [[wikipedia:cs:Horní_Mísečky|Horní Mísečky]], but in [[wikipedia:Špindlerův_Mlýn|Špindlerův Mlýn]] due to Saturday bus schedule. Climbing up was initially fine, but the closer to the top, the more windy and foggy it all got. In spite of that at 11:00 I had ski-skated up to [[wikipedia:Vrbatova_bouda|Vrbatova bouda]]. Honza Horváth (the only co-worker who RSVPed) called that the road from [[wikipedia:Rokytnice_nad_Jizerou|Rokytnice nad Jizerou]] was icy and he'd be delayed. Anyway at 11:30 I got to [https://www.labskabouda.cz/ Labská bouda] - however, to my horror, the cottage was closed. To fulfill my promise of ''happy hour'' (up till 12:30) I had to wait outside trying to contact Honza. When he finally picked the phone up (couldn't sooner as it was too windy to even pick a phone) he was in a shelter kilometer away from [https://www.labskabouda.cz/ Labská bouda] - I encouraged him to continue hoping he would show up in ten minutes. However he didn't and I was freezing for another half an hour. I gave up and went towards [[wikipedia:Martinova_bouda|Martinovka]] to rescue at least myself thinking about calling a rescue mission for Honza not even picking a phone. Finally Honza called - he had got lost and realized that only when crossing the Polish border. Honza sounded freezing and tired as well, so we called the meeting off and decided to return back where each of us started. I reached [[wikipedia:Martinova_bouda|Martinovka]], healed my freeze wounds and then quite tired continued down to [[wikipedia:Špindlerův_Mlýn|Špindlerův Mlýn]] bus station.

If anyone was waiting for a ''happy hour'' at [https://www.lucnibouda.cz/en/ Luční bouda] then I deeply apologize! I was expecting nice spring weather when planning the [[GraalSpringTour]], but instead of that I got a typical ''Hanč & Vrbata'' storm. The prospect of leaving [[wikipedia:Martinova_bouda|Martinovka]] and going up to the roof of [[wikipedia:Giant_Mountains|Krkonoše]] again was killing me. I wouldn't probably make it to [https://www.lucnibouda.cz/en/ Luční bouda]. Let's plan something simpler next time!
