My colleague from school Terka arrives with little Marie in a baby carriage, determined to hold a boycott against UNES-CO. A gang of mothers wearing painted t-shirts shows up in front of the UNES-CO houses to hold their uprising. In the end, the Čarkovices convince Terka otherwise, and the boycott is cancelled. Nevertheless, Terka and […]
Right in the morning, it’s clear that the situation is different today than on the weekend. Latrán Street is no longer a “quiet” pedestrian zone with the occasional passing automobile – it’s become a busy throughway with an unprecedented number of people passing by chaotically. Bus companies pass by one after another, and deliveries are […]
The sun woke us with its rays in the morning, the birds were singing, and the sound of bells carried through town. The view from the window over Krumlov is beautiful, rain or shine.… Simply idyllic. Our morning today looked similar to the one on Saturday: reading a book on the square, with child sleeping. […]
Since we got here on Friday evening and didn’t exactly have the most ideal beginning, Saturday is actually the first full day we spent in Krumlov. After a wild night when one of the kids was suffering from a cough, I was determined to find a pharmacy in the morning and buy all the things […]
In the morning, Aunt Gábi uses a bucket to clean out the mess left in the gutter by the previous night’s party, and all at once we have a fragrant Sunday street. Little Josef is weaving through the tourists on his bike, whistling all the while. Mission accomplished. He just learned to ride this morning. […]
We are making up for a sleepless night. Our neighbor celebrated his 30th birthday until early into the morning, and today he is doing it again. That was pretty naive of us when yesterday (or rather, today after midnight), we took our leave with the words, “Good night.” But all is forgiven – around noon, […]
We have now been in the beautiful south Bohemian town of Český Krumlov for 21 hours. Our time here can be summarized as follows: An experience need not be positive, but it should be strong. And we have plenty of strong experiences behind us. We’re going to have to wait for the positive ones.
“We don’t want you here,” the protestors told us after we’d spent an hour engaged in an unpleasant conflict with local residents right after arriving in Krumlov and trying to unpack our “travelling circus.” Two cars, four adults, six kids, and a pile of junk for several weeks of life. If you don’t have kids, […]
Milí čtenáři, podívali jste se někdy po našem historickém městě pořádně na zem? Spočítali jste si někdy počet odpadkových košů v ulicích? V jakékoliv postranní ulici – nedej bože na sídlišti nebo v okrajovějších částech města – někdy nenajdete odpadkový koš v celé ulici! To se pak nedivme, že lidi hází odpadky na zem!
