this town is absolutely stunning.. i know i say that about a lot of places i have been to, but this one was probably the most stunning.,, i ran into some girls getting off the bus and so together we managed to make our way into town after a major detour... Cesky means czech and Krumlov apparently means bend in the river or something like that... which is a perfect description of it... once you see the castle walls and walk through and see how the river snakes around the town, its just breathtaking... the main area (old town) is maybe 10 minutes from side to side... just tiny... tons of little streets (no bigger than alleyways) with hundreds of shops and bars... terases on the banks of the river and a beautiful park to stroll through... Travellers Hostel was wikked... live music and cheap beer, what more can you ask for?...  met a ton of great people to hang out with at nite and during the day it was amazing to just get lost through the streets... not that you can really get lost, its so small.... once again the view from the castle tower is incredible... there was a ton of galleries and art exhibits throughout the city and the castle... once again the crafts and aritsans there were incredible... if only i had the $ and the room in my bag... it was incredible... i can't stress how much of a jem this town is!!!
