back to czech

it seems that i'm spending most weekends in the czech republic at the moment but that's because it's such a beautiful country. this weekend was a long weekend in the uk so i took advantage of the extra day off to head to cesky krumlov on the recommendation of michelle, megan and vera and am glad i did. the town itself is quite small and really beautiful with the sort of castle and cobblestoned streets that you imagine eastern european towns have. it has a meandering river that is crossed by a number of small bridges and is a truly splendid place to spend some time. unfortunately it rained a lot whilst there so i also spent some time driving through the forests in the mountains on the border with austria and germany which was quite magical.

i'm very fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend so much time in this part of the world. poland is an amazing country and the people who i've been lucky enough to be associated with through my work have helped make my time here really enjoyable. i've spent quite a bit of time travelling in eastern europe since arriving in the uk in 2003 and it's probably my favourite part of the world outside of australia. hopefully i'll get to see a bit more before finally heading home.
