From CK to KC with love

Here's the Mrs. V-Ham checking in for the first time. Yesterday we
finally toured the main CK attraction, the castle. Our "english"
guide made the trip quite memorable with his terrible english grammar
and thick Czech accent. His favorite part of the tour seemed to be
the question/answer segments thrown in during each room. For example,
he would show us a giant gold-covered charriot and then ask "who can
guess how much gold is covering this charriot?". The best question,
however, was in regards to a giant painting of the town containing all
the princes. One prince was off by himself ("the black sheep") when
no one could guess correctly why this prince was thus ostracized, our
guide supplied the answer, "...because he was a BAS-tard" and after a
pause, added "an illigitimate son".

We also spent an hour following a local brewery tour, and had a drink
with a young couple from Sweden. The facility was a stark contrast to
the shiny-new and clean facility of Boulevard Brewery in KC.

We are pretty thankful today that the rain has finally stopped, we
leave for Munich tomorrow and our week in Cesky Krumlov was spent
mostly in our room watching the rain. Today, with the advent of the
sun breaking through the clouds, we were able to enjoy breakfast
outside! I hope the sun keeps up for the rest of our trip!
