  • Welcome, to the magical town of Cesky Krumlov

  • If you are ever in Prague

  • we definitely recommend a visit to the nearby town of Cesky Krumlov

  • We just arrived in Cesky Krumlov

  • We asked for a room that's a bit more quiet, so they put us all the way at the back.

  • This is the bathroom

  • it's clean!

  • sink

  • mirror

  • hairdryer

  • and the toilet

  • and then you come in to here

  • there's a wardrobe

  • a little table with some chairs.

  • another little table with a TV

  • and then we got two single beds

  • and the receptionist said if we want to we can join the two beds together

  • and make it a double, but...

  • ...we're just here for one night so it doesn't really matter

  • we have a pretty cool nice little window

  • Cesky Krumlov is situated on the banks of the Vltava river

  • in the Southern Bohemian region of Czech Republic

  • so we decided to go in search

  • for some authentic Bohemian cuisine

  • we asked out receptionist for a recommendation

  • and he told us to come to "Two Marys"

  • I'm hungry! So excited!

  • A: Yeh? Do you want to eat here? W: YES! A: Alright

  • I'm so hungry!

  • Although the restaurant only opened in 1990

  • the building itself dates back to the middle ages.

  • Can we get a table for two?

  • Yes, come in...

  • We didn't know what to expect when walking into this place

  • so we were pleasantly surprised

  • to find

  • there were tables

  • lined up along the river

  • Look how nice it is!

  • We even had a view of the famous Castle Tower

  • As we were sitting there

  • we were surprised to find a family pull up in a raft for lunch

  • we later found out, that rafting and canoeing is really popular on the Vltava river

  • This is my cabbage soup with daisies

  • It's uh...one daisy...

  • A: Good little sour tang

  • W: Yeh, it's like sourish, salty, herby...

  • A: It's not bad

  • This is our view for lunch

  • well late lunch, we're here at about 4:30 in the afternoon

  • You can see the clouds are getting dark

  • so we're worried it's gonna rain later

  • but it's ok

  • Oooh, here's our lunch!

  • This one is the rabbit and the pheasant

  • This is a traditional Bohemian Feast

  • and we ordered a serving for one for the pheasant and a serving for one for the rabbit

  • A: Ooh, it's like salad in the middle

  • and some sauerkraut

  • potatoes

  • and some ham

  • this is like uh...

  • ...almost like a bake of some sort

  • W: I see some corn inside

  • A: It's like a bake

  • W: It's like a potato cake, maybe

  • A: This is rabbit or lapin

  • and there's a pancakey thing here

  • and we got what they call a dumpling

  • it's like a spongy bread/dough

  • and we got some pheasant

  • again some casserole/bake

  • potatoes and a bit of ham

  • All the good stuff!

  • Ok! Now, we're gonna go walk around

  • W: I've almost finished my one A: Fresh!

  • The historic centre of Cesky Krumlov

  • Is a UNESCO world heritage site

  • wandering around, you will find a good mixture

  • of Gothic, Rennaisance and Baroque buildings

  • A: Oh! I thought you were taking a photo. I was full posing for a photo and you're recording. W: *Giggles*

  • W: Wandering the streets of Cesky Krumlov...

  • A: Cesky Krumlov!

  • W: We definitely recommend this place

  • Look! There's noone around us

  • A: Cos we are in the lower half of the town

  • W: Yeh, this is kind of like the residential area

  • A: So this is the synagogue here I guess, or is this the chapel?

  • W: No, there was an arrow pointing to the right

  • A: This must be St Martin's chapel then

  • um...according to our extremely colourful... look at that map

  • you don't get maps like this anymore guys

  • well according to this...

  • that was the synagogue

  • no wait! St Martins...

  • Yeh!

  • Oh no, that doesn't say Saint

  • it says "S.V."

  • W: What does that mean? A: Which probably means saint!

  • W: Does it? A: What else would it be?

  • We are so uneducated!

  • Wait til we go on our walking tour tomorrow

  • and then afterwards

  • we'll know a bit more about the city

  • and we'll be able to explain stuff in more detail

  • W: It's so pretty!

  • A: Look over there, there's a guy peeing in the bushes...

  • W: Oh! Um...I didn't want to see that!

  • Let's look over here...

  • W: is he done yet? A: Yeh!

  • W: Oh, ok

  • No his not!

  • A: Yeh, let's go down to the park W: Ok

  • A: We're not gonna go see the synagogue anymore W: *laughs*

  • Can we go into the park from here?

  • A: This is probably the worst blog W: EVER!

  • Literally following two tourists...

  • ...deciding where to go

  • Others would be showing them the castle

  • the amazing towers they have

  • Nope! we're showing them...NOTHING...

  • W: I'm showing them some mossy path

  • I like the tree that's a bit lighter than all the other trees

  • look at that one

  • it's like yellowy

  • and oh look, among the trees, there's a random house there.

  • Doesn't this feel like Hansel and Gretel or Little Red Riding Hood?

  • walking through the woods and running into some random house

  • oh, I left him behind. I'm talking to myself...

  • W: What are you doing back there?

  • A: Drinking some water

  • W: Ok

  • Drinking some water...

  • Anyways...

  • Woah! This is creepy...

  • ...what are they?

  • This one has a golden...

  • hat?

  • crown?

  • This one has a little...

  • ...golden bird on his shoulder

  • and this one has a golden...

  • ...shell on his shoulder

  • I'm gonna get out of here...

  • The Cesky Krumlov town park

  • is a great place to explore and escape the crowds for a little while

  • From the park, you can also get an amazing view

  • of the St Vitus Church

  • The medieval town of Cesky Krumlov

  • has so many interesting stories

  • that we couldn't resist joining a ghost tour at night

  • and it was so nice to learn about the town from a local

  • A: This is our guide...
