Cesky Krumlov
13.06.2008
Evening All, we have spent our last 2 days in the tiny little Czech town of Cesky Krumlov. We have pretty much been taking it easy in the cobblestoned streets and castle gardens of the town, composing ourselves before our Polish quest (with a quick stop over in Vienna first). As the Euro soccer tournament is currently in full swing, we have been watching a heap of soccer with some fantastic games on offer. The Dutch side are quite unbelievable at the moment, thrashing both the Frogs and the Wogs. I certainly enjoyed the later win, especially after Australia's world cup exit a couple of years ago. While Italy has probably been our favorite place so far, I still love seeing their diving, whining mob of soccer players have a cry when they lose ! Back to Cesky Krumlov and the highlight has to be the castle's bear pit. I often ask myself how to best protect a castle but building a pit and chucking 4 bears in there never came to mind. Still a fantastic sight though ! Tomorrow we are off to Vienna for some schnitzels and plenty of soccer (since they are the hosts).
Until then stay beautiful.

You guys sound like you are doing it extremely tough...I thought it read a 'beer' pit to stop people from going into the castle, a beer pit would have stopped me in my tracks. Hey, J-Rod is leaving tomorrow morning on his month trip to Europe so if you see a guy in a cop uniform with a big snoz say G'Day (just not in Italy otherwise you'll say G'Day to half the coppers there). Anyway take it easy guys,
