Cesky Krumlov
Standing by the heater is becoming somewhat of a pastime:
We weren't sure we'd get served dinner at 10pm in a town that looked asleep, but the Gypsy was open (though empty) and made us goulash and fried cheese:
This morning we enjoyed a fine breakfast of cheese, ham, more cheese, cream yogurt, two kinds of bread, butter and jam--included with and delivered to our room.
Then we went for a stroll, and encountered some bears:
They seemed to be guarding the castle. In as much as a castle on a hillside can have a moat, that's where these bears were.
Here's the painted tower from yesterday, up close:
And more murals further into the chateau:
And a fine view down on the city:
We hiked onward into the hills, enjoying the fresh air and quiet. I thought this shot came out rather surreal:
(That was it--our minute of sun.)
The chateau has this nifty sundial on the wall (sun not included):
(I wonder why they marked the hours twice instead of marking months?)
Anyway, this is our home for the next week. Time to get some work done.
