A Journal, with Pictures

Wednes­day morn­ing we leave Prague with our guide Mar­tin and a dri­ver for the vil­lage of Kresky Krumlov which is a unique vil­lage almost entire­ly pre­served since the renais­sance peri­od. It was once the cap­i­tal of the South­ern Bohemia region and the strong­hold of the fam­i­ly know as “Lord of the Ros­es. The mag­nif­i­cent cas­tle sits on a hill­side over­look­ing the vil­lage with gar­dens on top. The cas­tle tran­sis­tions down the hill into the town that sits on a hair­pin turn of the riv­er below. We start our tour on top and fol­low the cas­tel down to the vil­lage, where we explore and then have lunch before leav­ing for our dri­ve to meet our riv­er cruise in Germany.
