We walked through town all the way to the bypass. It’s quite a hill. In the morning, I aired the duvets and the beds. It feels like there’s fewer tourists today. The cars almost ran us over in the small streets – we had no place to get out of the way.
We settled into our housing and met another family. Although we had to fight our way through masses of tourists, we got down to the square and the center of action.
In the morning, I go to take out the trash. Latrán is quiet and empty. It stinks in front of the house, as if the passers-by had made it their public toilet. I guess that’s the price to pay for having our front door hidden away around the corner. I walk towards where the trash […]
In the morning we went to invite Věra and her family over for an afternoon celebration. There were several people celebrating, so it looked like good party. On Široká, we cooled off with refreshments and watched Věra prepare the cake. The kids helped out gladly. All day it looked like it might rain, so we […]
First thing in the morning a local resident who brought Věra some anti-stress coloring books suggested that local residents could get discounts for expositions in town. The town would get a grant to cover the difference. That would get people to come downtown. One thorn in the eye for locals is the Wágner senior home, […]
Peťa and Evan have brought some cherries from their garden. The “Totally Normal Family” has come to invite us to a birthday party on Latrán. Věra is fixing to bake a cake, the kids are mixing, while the other mothers are pouring out the tub after the outdoor bath. It’s Sunday – laundry day. Around […]
The burning issue for people who stop by is vehicle entry into the pedestrian zone. One passer-by suggests a parking lot for citizens of Český Krumlov with two hours free parking. All you’d need is an ID with a chip – the technology is there. We again open discussion on the subject of charging fees […]
You never know what will get you so worked up that the veins bulge out on your forehead. In one of my earlier posts, I wrote that the road to Krumlov was horrible (probably no matter what direction you come from). Today, I had the opportunity to reconfirm that impression. I traveled to Prague and […]
Yesterday evening, we ran out of some important medicine that has to be taken every morning and evening. So we decided to deal with it first thing Saturday morning. As is the case everywhere (small towns and villages), in ČeskýKrumlov it’s not exactly the greatest when something like this happens on a weekend or […]
What is it like to live in an old house with small children? I start with the downsides. We have to drag the strollers up the stairs. We help each other when we can, fold up the strollers, and carry the luggage and the kids up or down the stairs in stages. When we are […]
