Cseky Krumlov, Czech Republic

We spent 4 days and 3 nights in the small, riverside village of Cesky Krumlov in the southern part of the Czech Republic. www.pensiondanny.cz Here we found a simpler life and were able to settle down and unwind a bit. Reading books, playing gin rummy and scrabble and hiking through the village have been our main activities. Americans actually liberated Krumlov during WWIIl, and we saw an American soldier walking the streets. 75% of the population here used to be German, but after WWII they were forced out. Recently, since the communist rule is over, many have moved back in. This town remains undisturbed by tourism. A huge castle overlooks the river. Tomorrow we head to Linz, Austria where we will stay with yet another Servas host. After a night there, we will catch the train to Garmisch, Germany where we meet Melissa's parents. They arrive Saturday am and will stay for ten days. We will let the pictures do the talking on Krumlov. For those of you who want to see more pictures, post your email in the comments section - say "more pics" and we will include you on the list to receive notice when we update our Kodak Easy Share site. And if you really miss us you can even print out a picture of us and put it on your fridge!
