Euro Trippin' w/ Mel - Leg 4. Cesky Krumlov

The bus to Cesky Krumlov was driven by a wonderful driver with a long flowing mane that anyone from Hamilton or west Auckland would be proud of.

We stayed at "Skippy Hostel" which turned out to be a wonderful little alternative place run by Skippy - a laid back Czech lady. There were even a couple of mix CD's of NZ music which some previous kiwi backpackers had left Skippy, she loved them which was cool (especially Che Ku!)


Oh yeah... one of the other hostel guests was a vet from california, while we were there he gave one of Skippy's 17y.o dogs a check up, you will be pleased to know she had a clean bill of health.

Anyway... it turns out Cesky Krumlov is a beautiful little town, nestled in the bohemian countryside, it has a nice river winding through it and a picturesque castle on the hill. I took advantage of the scenery and went out in the evening to put the new camera through it's paces at night, I would give it a pass mark!
