Cesky Krumlov

Monday 14th October 2024.

Day 31.

After refuelling and doing a swift supermarket shop we headed in a northerly direction aiming for …

The amusing thing is the check point is now a pizza place😊

Whilst still in Austria on route we drove over a bridge with a lovely river view and for once there was stopping point for vehicles.

There was a camp site next to the river which would have been a pleasant place to stay.

Just after we crossed the border I tried to stop in a small town called Nove Hrady as we hadn’t any CzechKoruna, sadly we couldn’t park and had to drive onto the next town Trhove Sviny which was much larger. The car parks in the centre were coin operated parking meters which wasn’t helpful but I managed to find a back street parking spot near to some schools.

i was amused by the advertising over this shop calling itself an army shop but it seemed to be mainly selling plastic flowers as were other shops.

After using an ATM thankfully, with English translation I withdrew some local currency, 1,000 czech koruna is worth approx £30.

Not all the property was in tip top condition, and the notice board says it all, well it might if I could read it.

It was stressful driving today where the tractors in the fields outnumbered the vehicles on the road and villages were rammed.

We arrived mid afternoon in Cesky Krumlov and after a break went for a walk into town, it is quite a tourist attraction and easy to see why. We are only travelling a short distance tomorrow so we fully intend to spend some time in town tomorrow . After about an hour wandering around it began to rain so we walked back to Homer.
