Our 3 days in Cesky Krumlov have been my favorite part of this program so far. It is a town of about 10,000 people (and a million tourists who pass through in the summer). The oldest part of the town was built on a meandering river and is surrounded by it on three sides. The town is also home to the second largest castle in the Czech Republic (but I would choose it over the Prague castle any day). Field trips and other adventures kept us pretty busy, but we still got to do some good eating, wandering, and relaxing by the river.
Part of the castle, taken from the banks of the river in front of our place. I love how it is built into the rock.
Another castle shot. The part on the left is the Baroque Theatre we toured. Sadly no pictures allowed inside the theatre or castle. One of the entrances to town is through the arch on the very bottom. My pictures don't do any of this justice, but I bought lots of postcards.
View of the town and river from on top of the arches in the previous picture.
We stayed at "Penzions" which are like bed & breakfasts, just a few hotel rooms above a restaurant. I was super excited about the free breakfast (w/ nutella!), and loved starting each morning out here on the back deck over the canal.

And bedroom window #2
Amazing!! It was great to have fresh air and wake up to the sounds of the river.
