Up again early for the bus. We gave ourselves plenty of time to get to the pick-up point. We arrived in Cesky Krumlov at 11:30, what an amazing place! Hostel 99 was superb, right outside our room were was flowing water over rocks like a moat. Cesky Krumlov is this sweet little town with loads of character! It is surrounded by flowing water and has cobblestone streets. We spent our day roaming the streets exploring the wonderful surroundings with strawberry ice-creams in hand (not just any strawberry ice-creams but the woman put creamy vanilla ice-cream and fresh strawberries in a machine and voila deliciousness on a cone!). We climbed up to the castle for the great view and watched people taking canoes downs the rapids. For dinner we went to this cool motorbike museum/restaurant "Krumlovsky's Myn" ... read more

There are many sights to see in Cesky Krumlov, some very old and some not so old. Certainly these chairs are on the lighter side.

This small town in the Czech republic is one of the best towns i've been too on the trip.  The town itself has a super chill atmosphere and the hostal we stayed at was part of the city walls.  We spent a day rafting to the next town..and then there was the free keg on wensday.  All in all a great place.... read more
