Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic

Feeling the need to get out of the city, I heard good things about this small town called Cesky Krumlov, about 3 hours south of Prague by bus.  Small it may be, but it is awesome.  Things are a bit slow this time of year, but still a very cool place to visit and take in some great scenery.  They say that if you spend more than 3 days in CK, that you will spend 3 years, I can see how this can happen.  The English guy in the same room as me was there to meet an American friend of his who is in CK for two months on a grant to paint pictures, so we all met up that afternoon at the Eggenberg Brewery.  It was real nice to get a tour of the town from someone that has been there a while to see what the locals do and where they hang out.  What exactly they do is run the shops, I guess, where they hang out, I can give you better descriptions!  Krumlov Castle is closed for the season, but you can still wonder around parts of the castle and much of the surrounding gardens for free, probably what I would have done had the castle been open.  The food was quite good and more resonable than Prague.  I would love to make a return trip in the summer months to take advantage of the outdoor activities.   

The night shot is Krumlov Castle from down below in the town.  The guy leaning over the fire is cooking the food that we are eating in the picture below it, very good as you can imagine.
