Czech

3 to 7 of September

First impression - I said first impression because although we had been in Prague many years ago, that city is a "universal city"!-  plenty of trees, all along our drive we see bushes and "monoblocks"....they are now painted in different colours (they told us that during the communist government they used to be all grey) but we are surprised of the amount of monoblocks we saw in every small town we drove through. It was very clear that we were entering in a very different country to the ones we had been travelling. Where Germany was pristine, Czech was not.

Stunning Karlovy Vary

Karlovy Vary must be one of the prettiest place I have ever seen! (I know I have said that many many times but the places we are discovering are really so unique and so breathtaking!). The old town is in such pristine condition, totally restored and with new paintings... . every house, every building in different colours, with  flowers hanging of the balconies. The river running across, the little bridges, the imposing church. The only horrible thing is that this town seem to be the centre of cosmetic surgeries!! Every single place has a plate advertising a different treatment, some of them never even heard before!

Enchanted Cesky Krumlov

Cesky Krumlov is a UNESCO town since 1992. Dominated by the river and a huge castle (the second biggest after Prague) it is a renaissance town and a very romantic place...



and we rode our bikes to Olomuc on a Sunday and the best bit was to eat an icecream in the beautiful piazza under the
fountain! 

Olomouc

The very sad part of these wonderful cities is that ones you move away from the "historical towns"the rest of the cities/villages/towns are in very rough condition....
