Český Krumlov

Monday, October 30th, 2006

Went back to the castle today to do the tour, but first grabbed some breakfast at the restaurant attached to the hostel. The special was 99Kč (Hostel 99, Restaurant 99… get it?) Not quite a full English, but close… eggs, meat, potatoes, fruit, toast, and coffee or juice. Not sure what they put in the eggs for seasoning, but it was damn good. The potatoes, too. Went to the castle to buy the tickets and decided on the Tour I in English (50Kč student, 100Kč full price), but still had about two hours before the next one started, so I went back to wander some more. Stopped by the Egon Schiele Museum to check that out, but it was closed for preparation of a new installation. [read on]

Exploring South Bohemia, Česká Republika

Monday, October 30th, 2006

I seem to have a habit of starting my travels this way… busy. Took the 8:07 train from Amsterdam to Duisberg, a two hour trip, and had about a half hour to wait there. In Amsterdam an Aussie, Claire, had asked me a question about which train to get on, so we grabbed some quick food together in Duisburg before getting on the next train to Berlin together, a four hour ride. She was staying in Berlin, but I had 40 minutes to get the next train to Praha, another five hours away. I decided that I might go directly to Český Krumlov and finish in Prague at the end of the week, because my friend from the Conservatory, Francisco, will be there for a couple days then with some friends, so we could hang out. I arrived in Praha around 21:00 and the next train to Český Krumlov was at 0:23 for two and a half hours to České Budějovice and then another two and a half hour wait til the 5:28 train gets to Krumlov around 6:30. When I arrive it’ll be nearly 24 hours of travelling, and I didn’t sleep the night before to make sure I got to Amsterdam Centraal Station in time to start this whole trip. Oy vey. [read on]
