Český Krumlov

Our first stop on our ten day trip was in a small town in the Czech Republic. When you look in the dictionary for quaint there is a picture of Český Krumlov. The town has been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the center of the town is a castle, with winding streets radiating out as small alleyways of eclectic shops and homes. The town and castle began in the 13th century, with possession of the castle changing from family to family until 1945. Although the town fell into disrepair during the Communist years, it has been restored since 1989.
Man that sounded stuffy.
Just look. Really. That's all you need:
We also found a mirror maze! You think you're walking down the right pathway until you smack your face into a solid surface. Hilariously fun. And the best part about it was that it only cost 2 Euros to get in. Best deal of the day.
I am also of the opinion that European playgrounds are by far the best. None of those silly safety regulations preventing the creation of a twenty foot ropes course pyramid for the little ones to play on. There were also several spinning implements. I thoroughly enjoyed it, however I think Bri was not of the same opinion. Sorry Bri!
We also ate dinner at a delicious restaurant where I got the Bohemian Skewer. I feel like I need to tell you about this skewer, it was that good. Imagine:
Beef
Chicken
Pork
Bacon
Skewered with delicious vegetables and roasted over the fire. And a nice finishing sprinkle of cheese over the top. Serve it with a delicious creamy/cheesy sauce and you have perfection on a plate.
Also, we went bowling that night and I scored over one hundred for the first time ever.
All in all a great little town.
