Thursday 25^th August 2016

Up early for breakfast as we needed to be at Republic Square by 9:00am to board the bus for our trip to Cesky Krumlov.

Weather was a hot 28° with clear blue sky. After a 3-hour bus trip through the very picturesque country side (drove past a uranium mine and abandoned work camp from the Communist era which has been left as a memorial), we arrived at the lovely quaint town at 12:00pm. Cesky Krumlov is an old medieval walled town, which is a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage listed. The town winds its way up the side of a hill. There is a river at the bottom where people were canoeing. Our guide, a very knowledgeable and spritely Gent of about 70+ (we think) showed us the main point of interest in the town including the church. Time for more food so we had lunch and free time to explore by ourselves before meeting our local guide for a I hour tour of the castle.

Back on the bus for the trip back to Prague, which took about 2½ hours. We arrived back in Prague about 7:30pm and yes, we went straight to dinner at the same restaurant as last night. This time we both had Chicken Breast with Lemon sauce, I had French fries but Lynne went with the healthier pan-fried veggie option. All up only walked a mere 6klms today.
