In the deep south of Bohemia, this town looks like a made up Disney World version of an old Europen town- but it is for real!! So stinkin’ cute! There are loads to tourists, but if you can look beyond that it is absolutely wonderful! And the tourists mean lots of bars and restaurants- last night we went to a yummy all vegetarian one. The town has a castle, winding cooblestone streets, a lovely river flowing through it, bears that live below the castle to guard it (now just for the tourists enjoyment). When we went to see the bears one was playing in his pool with his barrel that he was dunking under the water and batting it back down when it popped up- so cute! And their habitat is pretty big with lots of real trees to climb. Today we went on a 4 hour hike to a little Czech village and were about 5 ft from a deer on the hike. Tonight Michael is making a veggie torte for us in our hostel’s kitchen and we bought a bottle of Czech wine to enjoy.
P.s. We may be missing monsoon season in India, but not in Czech Rep.
This sounds like such a neat town! The bear frolicking in the water – how cute is that!! You guys sound happy – being the tourists and still getting "your drink on" ! HA! Sorry this is my first comment…i thought i had to set up a blog to do it. Have you met cool people in the hostels?? Rainy weather in Czech sounds bummer but I bet it's so green and lush! miss you! love you! JTebbers 🙂
