20220914 Kunta Hora – Henry’s Castle – Cesky Krumlov: Got up early and we all took the van to the Sedlec Ossuary. This is a church of sorts with the bones of thousands arranged in all sorts of designs and ways. Interesting…and odd. Back to the hotel for breakfast and departure at 9:45.
It was raining, so plans had to be amended. Tom suggested we go to Jindrichuv hradec (Henry’s Castle) and shoot inside this huge castle, one of the biggest in the Czech Republic. It was beautiful. Spent about an hour there and then drove to the headquarters of the “real” Budweiser in Ceske Budejovice for a huge lunch at the brewery’s restaurant.
More driving and heavy traffic to get to Cesky Krumlov and checked in at the Hotel Gold where I am in Room 104 on the ground level. Got my gear and headed out to the river and walked through a park that starts by the hotel to its end, up a street or two, and found the local synagogue. Not an impressive building, but fun to see it here. Then back through the park, over a bridge across the river, and into the city itself. Wandered around, Climbed uphill to the church and back down again. Met Jeff and we went to the central square and retraced some of where we had been in 2016. Oh, gelato in the central square.
Back to the hotel after 7PM and met for dinner at the hotel at 8PM. Nice meal. Went back to my room about 9:30 thinking I would write this, take a shower, shave, do laundry, but Jeff texted for all of us to come outside with tripods and gear down by the river to take images of the church that is lighted at night and the reflections in the river. Did that and am now finishing this.
Need to get going and into bed since we’re up at 5:30 to try to walk up to the castle for the super view from up there (unless it’s raining).
