Cesky Krumlov

Torrential rain greeted us in Cesky Krumlov, but it didn't put a damper on exploring the city. The Cesky Castle is perfectly perched on top of sharp rock and a steep hill across the meandering river that runs through the sleepy town. The town's name is derived from Cesky meaning Czech and Krumlov, which is to meander through a specific watercourse. I took the day to relax and later tried a local treat which is fresh pastry baked around a hot metal roller, then covered in cinnamon and sugar. I would say this is similar to a Beaver Tail at Blue Mountain or Quebec City....but you get more bang for your buck in Cesky...super filling. The rain eventually stopped and I could get mz camera out to capture the layered red and orange peak roofs and the view from the castle walls. Had the weather been slightly warmer I would have taken a raft down the Vltava river.
It was a nice break to visit the quaint little town, and next I'm off to Vienna!
