Friday in Cesky Krumlov

Friday- April 10

We had breakfast in bed. Nothing special, they just deliver breakfast to your room. Breakfast kept coming and coming. First was a plate of cold cuts, cheese and a few veggies. Then a basket of bread, and a basket of yogurt and apples and some snacks. 5 minutes later there is another knock on our door and we get a plate of sunny side up eggs. But they weren’t your normal sunny side up eggs. There were cooked on top of a slice of ham and there was some cheese on top of the eggs. They were delicious!

After our lovely breakfast we headed out to the Castle. We went up inside of the tower and took pictures of the town. Again a beautiful town and beautiful pictures. We wandered through the castle and then through the castle gardens. The gardens were really pretty and looked like they had just been opened and were being worked on some but they were still nice. There were manicured gardens then a path through a woody area, which led to a small pond. It was a nice place to walk through. We spent half the morning wandering through the gardens. As we walked back through the castle Michael got a slushy, which he had been wanting for quite some time, and I got a scoop of gelato.

We went into the main square and there were a few booths of homemade things and then this booth that had homemade chips… Just amazing. That’s all I can say. So good we had them 2 days in a row… After walking around some we went and had lunch at a little place on the river. Just picnic tables next to the water. It was a nice place and yummy lunch. We ate well while in Cesky.  Next we went into a little church that was up a little bit from the river. After that we laid around and rested in a near by park.

We had dinner at a very Czech touristy restaurant. The food was good and so was the beer. We had cerny (dark) Eggenberg beer. Eggenberg is actually brewed in Cesky Krumlov. It was a good dinner. We went to the bar next-door for one drink. It had a good atmosphere but wasn’t that exciting. We left there and ran into the traveler’s bar. We got a cheap beer there and hung out for one drink. It was filled with people our age but not really our crowd. We kinda stood out amongst the backpacking crowd. Michael led us to the main square and another bar. There we had becharova, which is Czech liquor that tastes like cinnamon. After you take a drink of it “you feel the angels rise up from your chest” is what Art always used to say. We hung out there for a little bit and danced with the local teenagers. It was overall a good night.
