40 Guys, a bus, and a castle

What an amazing trip it has been so far. The hustle and bustle of the hub city of Prague was a sight to be seen for sure, but now that the festival is all done and over with, its time for the less bustling, more exploratory week of this little tour. Getting on the bus in the morning is getting somewhat automatic at this point, as another long bus session awaited us this morning. Should be jarring tomorrow when we don't have to go anywhere out of town. The trip was not unpleasant, however, as the time was well used to catch up on much needed sleep, play cards, or just joke around in general.
 
Made a briefish stop along the way to see a magnificent castle in the small town of Cesky Bru.....something-ovice. Sorry, cant remember the exacts. Something like. I'm really beginning to like seeing the various castles around. The Prague Castle cathedral still has to be one of my highlights.
 
Another short bus ride later, and here we are in Cesky Krumlov, and that i know how to spell for sure. It was raining and kind of dismal when we got here, and there was a bit of a trek to our hotels as the bus couldn't drive over a bridge partway to, but the clouds have gradually dissipatedly to reveal a very nice, quaint little town, with an absolutely awe-inspiring castle in the back. Tops the one earlier today, even though that one was still very impressive. SUCH a beautiful view, and in the twilight it was just......like being a kid at Disneyland again, except in a real life castle. Looking forward to seeing it again, and more of it, tomorrow. Ive got my trusty camera at the ready.
 
Haven't had a good opportunity for general cheap dining and beer drinking since we left Hradec Kralove two days ago. We shall have to see about rectifying that tomorrow.
