Good Morning Cesky Bears There is nothing like wanting to avoid the crowds to make you jump out of bed early in the morning on your holidays. My first priority (after caffeine that is) was to climb Cesky Tower for the morning view of the UNESCO Heritage listed town. The town was already basked in early morning sun and in the pit of my tummy, I knew today was going to be a wonderful carefree day. The Cesky Castle bears thought so too as they were padding around their humble moat from one side, under the bridge and out to the other. Only a handful of voyeurs were hanging about and they didn’t mind the intrusion. A little French boy had a moment of stage fright coming down the wooden steps of the tower and promptly ... read more

http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Czech-Republic/Prague/Prague/blog-141061.html のキャッシュです。 European Summer Czech Republic, we canoed 70km roughly from Vyssi Brod via Cesky Krumlov (2nd largest castle in Czechland) to Borsov. I think we spent more time on land having pitstops of Tuzemak, sadlo s chlebem, klobasy and more rum...The river was full, the sun was out , but the wind was cold. Good company and I think I improved my Czech...just a little. Cycling was good, a packed lunch, off road and on, through the tall tree forests and swimming in the lakes, riding through the corn fields and picking mushrooms along the way. South Bohemia is a top spot to cycle around, beautiful landscapes, so take your camera in your backpack. European Summer crew seaman and rum...and slivovic too ... read more

i realized that i have used the words "beautiful" "gorgeous" "Amazing" and "incredible" more times in the past few weeks than i have my whole life. but it's true, some of the things we've seen have been so heartstopping you just have to let your jaw drop open and stare. example: today we went on a horseback ride. it was alot of fun, i haven't riden a horse in years, but i remembered why i took lessons for so long, getting on a horse and then riding into the forest, is so peaceful, it gives you a chance to think and silently meditate on everything you forget about when you're too busy doing other things. we went up the most beautiful hills, and saw the whole town layed out below us. it was definitly one of ... read more

Day 8 (june 30) Cesky Kromlov Castle and Baroque Night We arrived in Cesky Kromlov to a drizzly day. Kromlov is another medieval city that we’ve visited. There’s a river that snakes its way though the city where many people take rafts and canoes to float around the castle above. All the cities we’ve visited have cobble stoned streets so its been hard on our feet. Our first night, Amanda and I went out in the pouring rain to find the girls something to eat. I mean pouring. It’s very hilly in the city square so the rain was running like rivers over the cobble stones. Where it was uneven, puddles formed 3-4 inches deep. We had fun just getting wet. We finally found a place to get pizza and took one home. One thing we’ve ... read more

Had a really nice stay at the Boathouse Hostel. It was a good meeting place and I received good tips from other travelers on places to see. It was the first true hostel experience I've had--the Paris student place wasn't really a hostel. I have to give credit to the ladies that run the Boathouse. They work their butts off to keep the place running. They serve a pretty good breakfast, (dinner, if you want... read more
