Hotel Kasperk Kasperske Hory

... sutr a muj H nemohl odtlacit lod.
tak sem ze sebe strhala obleceni, prebehla jedno rameno reky, ale za nima sem si do vody netroufla, posbirala sem aspon jedno padlo a sedacku, zbytek uplaval.

nakonec si kluci pomohli a byli na brehu, vycerpani. lod zalita vodou pod vodou a sutrem...
chvili premysleli co s tim, ale lod nakonec vyprostlili, vylili a odtahli na breh. ja sem ani nevedela jak mam prejit zpatky rameno, tam to bylo rychle, ale zpet horsi, a jeste ...

Coming from the cabin, we stoped here for a while to try some local specialities and take the train to come back to Miroslav house in Zichovec. Amazingly, there were several chickens and cocks looking for food in the railways. And even more amazingly, they seemed to know the train schedule, because five minutes before it came, they started to get out of the way!!!

... as there were three solid beds inside. The next morning we got up early and could get a more detailed view of the cabin. It was very nicely built, much more than what we had imagined. It had even its own balcony! Very near, at about 50 meters, there was a place called "The Chapel", built for them (Miroslav and his friends) but not precisely to pray... We went for a walk in the surroundings, getting very nice views of the ...

The hometown of Miroslav. We were given the warmest of welcomes in his house, and his family was extremely nice to us. We slept two nights there, one before and one after our stay in the cabin; and we enjoyed the company of Mira's mother, father and niece (who by the way, plays the accordion virtuously).

Písek, city of the sand...we found it in our way to Mira's place, and we took the two pics you can see from the oldest Czech Bridge, which was almost completely covered by the floodings in 2002. It is really beautiful, and it is one of our best pictures (Bea took it) to date, what in the other hand it's not so difficult...

Went to Passau to stay with Claudia´s Uncle & Aunty, plus their kids and families. Passau is directly east from Karlsruhe, and took us about 5 hours to drive along the busy and very fast Autobahn. I was slightly scared for my life and several points in the journy. I think Claudia´s dad (Herbert) thinks he is in a race, but you have to respect a man who shows no fear while doing 190km/h in the rain in moderate traffic, even if you might die. Passau was nice, snow had been falling. The ...

... we still weren't feeling well, and really wanted to enjoy our well-heated splurge hotel, we opted for hot tea in the comforts of our room and enjoyed each other's company. The next morning we left our bags under the watchful eye of the puppy and went to find a new place to stay, as no rooms had opened up. We found out that there was a radiologist's convention in town, and that is why our place was booked mid-week (my old colleagues will appreciate the fact that I almost ...

... litre. We got up super early the next morning to explore the town just after dawn. Although this sounds more like a JP idea, in this case it was Shaz who pushed for a 6.30am wake-up. She was soon regretting that brain wave because it was freezing outside! After one false start where we had to return to the hostel for a few more layers of warm clothes, we got out and had a fantastic time seeing the incredible little town as the morning mist gradually lifted and ...

Well, since I am writing this, I am obviously still alive, which means I survived my 30th! On Thursday night a group from the hostel decided I should be celebrating at midnight when it turned to June 2, so we went out to Horor bar. It's in a basement cave, and is decorated with skeletons and gravestones! Everyone in the bar sang happy birthday at 12, even though most of them had no idea who they were singing to. After one of the ...

... with it all, to say the least. I gave the curators a serious scowling on my way out! That showed them. Possibly. Finally, on my last morning in snow covered Cesky Krumlov, the inaugral international wok sledging exhibition was held! By which I mean, Daniel, an Israeli, and I "borrowed" a wok from the hostel kitchen, greased it up and went sledging down some rediculously steep hills on it. It's amazing how versatile woks can be! I'll try to get the video up soon :)
