The traveller in me itches to tell a story today

After putting in five of gruelling hard work in my organization and saving up enough for a holiday abroad , I was finally planning a vacation to eastern Europe. I chose to travel through five counties , one for each year of hardwork thaf I had put in. Adding to the excitement was the fact that I was travelling with a group of travel enthusiasts who I had never met earlier therefore an opportunity to make new friends. The route to be followed was to take us by road through Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria in the same order.

As I travelled through sun soaked Europe in the summer month of June and explored the spectacular beauty of each place, one city which took my heart away was Cesky Krumlov. Located at a distance of about 2 hours by road from Prague in Czech Republic, the small little city is a renowned UNESCO World heritage site. Like any other European City,  Cesky Krumlov also has its own river, town square, castle and church however what sets the city apart is its small town feel, abundant natural beauty and magnificent architectural monuments. Everything around the small city can be accessed by simply walking through its narrow cobbled stoned streets. Every house in the city has history etched in it and various structures in gothic, renaissance and baroque style can be found in abundance. Another endearing feature of this city is the numerous cafes along the banks of its Valtava river. After a  day full of site seeing and enriching oneself with the architectural delights of the city, it is indeed a pleasure to end the day by the banks of the gushing V

altava river while biting into the bakery delicacies and savouring the energising coffee that the cafes offer.

The charm of this beautiful city left me spellbound and I recommend it to all travel enthusiasts :)
