Today we travelled via bus to the tiny town of Cesky Krumlov. We heard it had the 2nd biggest castle in the Czech Republic (next to Prague's) and since we love castles, we had to go.
Here is the view from the top of the castle. It was sizeable and we got an informative tour from a Scottish educated Czech man with a very difficult Czech-Scottish accent.
Ahhhhhh Budvar. If you don't know, Budvar is the original Budweiser. The Anheuser Busch company stole the name, slapped it on it's crappy beer, and sold it like gangbusters in America. Now the original (begun in 1265) must sell its beer as "Czechvar" in America. Budvar dark is like a lighter version of Guinness. My personal favorite beer on earth.
The best part of our visit her was staying in this 14th century tower! We had a cozy room at the top, for just $55! I love eastern Europe.
