I am Your Sunshine

5/2

We had breakfast, we packed, we hopped in to a van and said goodbye to Austria.

We stopped by Linz for lunch. Daniel and I found a cute hole in a wall cafe in a quiet alley not at all far from the busy town center/market place which is filled with tourist-friendly restaurants offering bilingual menu with bright pictures. This place, on the other hand, looks like one where locals go for lunch during a business day. And the language barrier kind of proved that.

I forgot how we ordered, but I remembered using the little German that I could still muster and a lot of pointing and making English sound German. On top of getting us food, I also successfully ordered a glass of Weißwein, which was delightful.

We also bought some kind of dessert at a street cart. I tried to use German only but English blurted out when I exhausted my vocabulary. Nevertheless, my effort was complimented and the dessert was very tasty.

It started to rain as we approached Czech Republic. It was actually quite beautiful. My impression of the journal was green and silky grey.

Maybe it was over hyped, maybe we simply LOVE Hallstatt too much, I was not blown away when our driver (so kind!) gave us a tour around the town and took us to a hill to take in the town of thousand towers. Yeah, it’s red and cute, but I’m cold and wet and sore and in a poopy mood.

The town was extermely touristy, even more so than Hallstatt and in a different way.

There are cute places and the food was wonderful and wonderfully cheap. I was just not in love, which wouldn’t be a problem if it was not dubbed the MOST BEAUTIFUL SMALL TOWN (in the world?)

However, now that I look through the pictures, Cesky Krumlov indeed looks lovely.
