what was a favorite place of mine from our trip around the world?


Cesky Krumlov a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Cesky Krumlov, is a little town in the Czech Republic that winds around the Vlatva River and dates back to 1253. We were able to spend our last half-day there before flying to Australia.

The center of town revolves around the State Castle of Cesky Krumlov, one of the largest castles in Europe. It was owned by the same family who owned the Hluboka Castle.

The Cesky Krumlov Castle was much larger and spanned across most of the village. There were several buildings, walkways, lookouts...

and a beautiful garden...

with a fountain.

Like the Hluboka Castle, this castle has a bell tower you can climb. I did not get chance to climb the Hluboka tower...

so I made sure we did not miss this one.



The view from the top was amazing...

especially looking down on the town along the Vltava River. What a magical place.
