Ceske Krumlov is perhaps the second most visited place in the Czech Republic after
Praha(Prague). We were lucky that our visit was timed with an annual festival. We first arrived in the city of
Ceske Brodovice (sic) and found a very nice town square but really nothing else noteworthy. People at the information center looked
perplexed when we asked about a festival and a castle. We found a spot for lunch and a quick check of our navigation system revealed that we were in the wrong
Ceske.
For a few Czech crowns you could fire a quiver of arrows at some circular spiral targets fashioned out of straw.
We were amazed at the length of this procession though the town. There must have been 1/2 a kilometer of people dressed in period costume. Many of them famous Czech actors. All the more impressive as it was raining. The
women's long dresses were beginning to act as mops. Such was life in the middle ages I guess.
In the town square many vendors had set up and were making the
equivalent of fair food. These mini
doughnuts were nothing but
melty gooey goodness.
