Emily, Beth, Bonnie and I recently took Bohemia by storm. I don't know a lot about either of the cities that we went to, except that they were both beautiful and Czech-esque. Two words: potato dumplings. We saw colorful storefronts, icy rivers, old castles, and bears. Bears? Yes, inside the castle wall at Krumlov (and outside the castle itself) were several bears roaming the landscape. I think the city keeps them there for old times sake, and when we saw them, they were just chowing down on platters of fruit. We ate crepes and goulash and pastries and tortes.
The hostel room that Bonnie and I shared had a sign on the door that read "Love Shack." Also: the guy manning the hostel's reception office told us to not be surprised if when we woke up to check out the next morning, we found him passed out on the floor outside of the door, sleeping off his inebriation. Shaaaady. Luckily, when we went to turn in our keys in the morning, he was sitting upright at his desk, and seemed coherent enough.
Anyway -- here are some pictures from the weekend.

1) Love the super pointy shrubs in that one landscaped picture.
2) Sorry about the guy at your hostel check-in desk. WOW.
3) Not gonna lie - pretty concerned about all the bears.
Oh yeah - most importantly:
IS THAT A BATHROOM WHERE MEN AND LITTLE GIRLS CAN GO AT THE SAME TIME?!?!?!? Where ARE you?!?!?!?!?
I think it was a "men and little girls" road crossing sign. It seems like every country around here has their own version of pedestrian crossing - most of them way more detailed than the American stick figure.
Ironically, the shadiest hostel we ever stayed at was in Cesky Krumlov. What was the name of yours? Hostel Skippy was ours...but, it was only 10 bucks per night ($5 each...guess you get what you pay for).
