Česky Krumlov, Czechia

Sep 11 – When Jim planned this trip, he booked us into cities in a circle around Prague, and we figured we would travel around the circle. Turns out that you can’t get anywhere in this country without going through Prague, so our travel days will be like spokes of a wheel, going back to Prague every time before advancing to the next place.

So we spent this whole day traveling from Olomouc back to Prague by train, then onward to Česky Krumlov by bus. (The little karat above the Č indicates a Ch sound, so CHESky.) We met a young family in the train station who said they shared our sadness on this anniversary of 9/11, which we thought was so sweet. Nice people of Czechia!

Our very comfy 2nd class seats on the train – half price for seniors

So now we are in Česky Krumlov, high in the hills and away from the city – the weather is a little cooler here
This town is full of pensions attached to private homes. We are staying at Pension Klima, in an efficiency studio with a full kitchen. Our host has a face collection at our door that made me smile.
Jim has some hiking planned for us this week – oh boy!
I think we’re going to like it here!
