Moving Right Along.

Following on from my blog of 2 days ago. Hi from Glasgow but more from there later. I need to finish Passau and move onto the beautiful town of Cresy Kumlov in the Czech Republic. We left Passau on Monday morning after enjoying our time in Passau, finishing of with a very successful shopping trip to the Brax store were I managed to get a couple of things that I have been after. They make some very good jeans etc.. We also had a very nice evening with a number of people from the boat trip, enjoying an evening meal with great conversation and great food. We are hoping to catch up with Karen and John in England, time permitting, but will certainly keep in touch. So, to the town of Cresy Kumlov, about a 2 and 1/2 hour drive from Passau. We had decided to stay there for 1 night on the way to Prague after reading about it. Our first impression was, oh, 1 day is not going to be enough. This is certainly true as this town is magic. We had a fantastic time looking at the sights and exhausting ourselves with walking in the mid to high 30s. So hot, but well worth the discomfort. This is certainly a very nice place to visit and as much as it was magic during the day, at night, it was absolutely awesome. Lighting on some of these buildings brings out the contours and highlights so well. Our hotel in the middle of the old centre was ideal and to sit and look at the surroundings was magic. So on the Tuesday afternoon we set of on the 3 hour drive to Prague. Wow. This place is fantastic as well. So more on all that later. Pip/Rod

Sit and Take It In.
Peace and beauty, just so easy to sit and look at something that is so amazing. I wish I was a photographer that could show what it was really like.

Looking Down On The Town.
I have so many photos it is hard to chose what to put on here.

Beautiful.
Hard to describe how this place struck me.

Our Hotel.
Perfect. Right in the centre of the old town.

Before the drive to Prague a brief paddle to cool down.
