Reluctantly, it was time to leave Trebon and head south towards Austria. Our first stop was the UNESCO World Herritage town of Cesky Krumlov and, even though we had visited it last year, it warranted another one. The sun was still shining although the forecast suggested that we should enjoy it whilst we could – rain was on the way.
Cesky Krumlov always looks beautiful but is at its best in the sunshine. The castle looked splendid, high on the rock above the loop in the Vlatava river. I found the same restaurant, 'Krcma v Satlavske', that we visited last year (and 14 years before that) and we ordered the soup. This came in a very large crusty roll, or small loaf, that had been partly hollowed out. The garlic soup soaked into the bread but did not come out of the sides. It was delicious but neither of us could eat all of the bread, so we were left with the two empty bread cases. We did a tour of the many tourist shops in the town that included many excellent potters and glass shops and then headed back to Henrietta. A tip for anyone coming here – the car parks are expensive but there is free parking on the sides of the road south of the town.
