The Bohemian Cesky Krumlov

Cesky Krumlov (or CK as the cool kids say) is an old medeval looking
town in the Czech Republic. Mostly it seems, backpackers come here
for a day or two of relaxation, because its so cheap. We came here
for the same reason, but we will be staying a week!
We are in the Pension Merlin, with a very nice bed and our own shower.
It has a communal kitchen area, so that we can have breakfast with
all the other tourists. Today we ate with a couple from california who
were about to burn the place down because the coffee pot was taking
too long. They seemed to like coffee.
Everything is cobblestone roads and stone and brick shanties. Czech
is another confusing language, akin to hungarian, and it doesn't seem
german is as useful here as it was there. So we bought a dictionary
and will be trying to figure out what all the dashes and commas on all
the letters mean.
Everything is pretty cheap. Our hotel is only around 25 American
dollars a night. And most meals cost around 5 bucks. Everything
Looks expensive though as the exchange rate is 1 US dollar = 25 Czech
dollars. So $125 is pretty cheap.
Today is walking around and eating, as tommorrow will be also. Monday
we might go see the castle and other touristy things. There seem to be
alot of people canoeing down the river here. Perhaps I can get
Bethany to take part... but considering the biking experience, I doubt
it. Plus that would mean I would have to buy a speedo, which is quite
in style here, which I don't feel much like doing.
We have free internet here, which is nice, so don't stop commmenting -
we read and enjoy them all.
Bethany says were not going to Salzburg, which is a shame, but thats ok.
We have sent our first wave of postcards, so those who emailed us your
address (only Jeremy so far) should expect one in a month or two. We
did send them from austria, as we heard the postal service was more
reliable there.
We are going to go walk around now for a bit. And have a bohemain time of it!
