Better Late Than Never - My Last Week in Krumlov

Well I am a tad behind with this post...and I was doing so well! ugh

Oh well...

Once I got back from Linz on Tuesday night it was straight back into classes for me on Wednesday morning at 9am yay
I mean I was up anyways because of the time difference but come on...9 am for class in the summer? after a month in Europe...boooo

Here are the rest of the photos from my last week and a half in Czech Republic and Austria

courtyard of the castle tower

mini version of the tower

tower bells

panorama of the town from the tower

I loved the bears in the castle moat...they are one of the things I miss most about Krumlov



a new view of their home!



I always wondered why two of the bears would always stay together and exclude the other one...
it was only on the last night that I learned that two of them are brother and sister!


close up of Laibon from the tower - Hi David!



it was a tad windy
bonjour sweater by ASOS

pants by lululemon - they are sold out :(

i feel like a real blogger now!

On our last night we had tickets to attend Baroque Night, a performance, dinner, opera, etc put on my members of the town once a year.  Tickets were very expensive and we were lucky enough to be given them to us by the Baroque Society in Cesky Krumlov






this was apparently a game they played back in the 1700's 


P and I - one of the organizers of our trip




this fruit bird was absolutely amazing...
the fruit looked so delicious, I wanted to eat all of it


live mouse races...
there were also other gambling/casino tables but the photos were blurry :(

yes to glasses? or ...


... no to glasses?


Before the feast, there was a quick little opera put on

I had no clue what was going on but the scenery and the music was amazing so I was happy





After the opera we had a delicious feast in the garden



they used thousands of candles...so pretty


my sad sad attempt at taking an artistic picture of the path lined with candles

apparently the washrooms are in the bushes 

they roasted almost a whole pig...mmm bacon


mowing down on watermelon...I probably ate 10 pieces

At the end of the night we had a 'private' old school Baroque fireworks show
These were the traditional fireworks that they had back in the 18th century
These cost thousands of dollars








We went home tired but amazed
