There are a number of day trips one can arrange from Prague. We decided on Chesky Krumlov castle. The location was a good choice, the tour company however ...
It started with the threat of rain. Luckily, we had brought along the umbrellas we bought in Budapest when we were caught in that shower so that didn't cause too much trouble. The real problem was our guide. First, he had to give the tour in English and in Spanish and he kept forgetting which language he was in! He'd start in English, then forget to repeat in Spanish. Then he's start in Spanish and realise he was trying to talk to the English speaking tourists. He kept correcting himself, forgetting names, dates and events. It was a bit of a mess.
But, the place was beautiful and the castle tour itself was very interesting (different guide) except that they didn't allow photos, which I think it just mean.
This is a bridge that connects the different parts of the castle over this ravine.
The town was so gorgeous with this river running through it and the old houses.
There are all kinds of different architectural types in the same place
here. Our guide said it was because the town was too poor to tear down
the previous style and rebuild in their own. Lucky for us! If you look closely, you'll see Jesus and a bishop entertaining the kids by the monument.
View after view and each one better than the last. Too bad for the cloudy skies.
You can see the kayakers in this photo. They get a little bit of rapids as they go over the dam.
