Cesky krumlov

We are in our last town of the trip, Cesky Krumlov. This is the best place to end the trip, it is so beautiful, and it is definitely the picturesque small European town I've been waiting for. I even have to say it is more beautiful than Prague. We are surrounded by small mountains and rolling green hills with tons of trees. We are also surrounded by a river that kind of snakes through the area, so there are small bridges everywhere and tons of restaurants that line the river. The castle here is the best one I've seen this trip, it is so big that you can actually walk through the entire castle from one end of the town to the other end. There are original painted frescoes everywhere dating back to the 1500's on many of the buildings in the town. It's been very warm and sunny everyday, and there has also been storms that roll in every afternoon, but it's really pretty. Pictures won't really do this place justice, but here they are!
