This is a view of the rooftops of Cesky Krumlov from the top of the Castle tower. Krumlov's charm comes from its traditional medieval atmosphere, the labyrinth of lanes, and its colourful, decorative buildings. Most of the buildings are either etched or painted with simple or elaborate designs. They call this 'trompe l'oeil' painting, apparently.
Our hostel (our first stay in a hostel so far) was nestled in the town walls and had lots of character. Fortunately, our room was a small one (with four beds in total) and our roommates didn't snore!
The town has a good atmosphere of fun and we watched lots of people floating (and capsizing!) the river in canoes or rafts while passing the beers around. Unfortunately, Martin had a headcold so we didn't get to float the Vltava.
At the bottom of this picture, you can see the full benches of our favourite pub on the riverside (left of the second tree left of the bridge). *Mush
