The next morning I had a fight with the hostel staff about the price of my bill and we rushed off to catch the bus. It was looking like we had no chance of making it and then everything went our way and we made it to the ticket office with a few minutes to spare. However we were shocked to discover the bus was sold out and we had to wait 4 hours for the next one.
While in the line for the tickets we meet this guy called Garry from New York. He had also missed his bus so we invited him to join us for breakfast while we wait for the next one. We then went to a cafe down the street with free Wifi and sat on Nick and Taz's computers for the next 4 hours.
Finally to the relief of of the cafe staff we left for our bus. The bus ride was about 3 hours and I naturally fell asleep. Unfortunately for Garry who we just meet I fell asleep on his shoulder and Taz and Nick took great joy photographing the event.
We finally reached Cesky Krumlov and followed Garry to his hostel which we also booked into after his recommendation. That day we looked around the town and had a look at the castle from the outside. Cesky Krumlov is so cute. It is a little medieval village.

The next day it was raining so we had another look around town and went to the castle and saw the bears. They were so cute!
That afternoon the hostel had free beer so Nick and I did our best for the team. We then went for a walk down to the Eggenberg Beer Brewery and Nick and I were over joyed!
One day this stuff will be beer..Yum!
The next morning we had to leave really early. So we slipped out and walked to the bus stop. Garry left before us but got lost on the way so ended up taking the bus with us part of the way to Telc. He needed to catch a connecting train but because he missed his first bus it looked like he had no chance of making the train. Taz sat next to Garry on the bus ride and was chatting to him. She asked him if he had a tongue ring because the other night at dinner it looked like he did. He said he did not and acted like it was a weird question to ask. Later Taz told Nick and I and we check our photos from the other night as low and behold he does have a tongue ring! Who lies about this kind of stuff! it was really odd. Nick claimed the only conclusion was Garry was a serial killer. hahaha!
So after a long bus ride we reached Telc and it was great! A very small village in the S-bend of a river. It was great!
While in Telc we stopped off at a cafe for a hot chocolate. Taz asked the waitress what they put in a Frappe. Unfortunately for Taz the woman miss understood her and thought she was ordering one. Look at Taz's disappointment!
Finally it came time for us to get a bus back to Prague. Nick and I had worked it all out on the Internet or so we thought! We waited at the bus stop for hours and made friends with this local guy called Matej. He was also travelling to Prague and was not sure what was wrong with the buses that day. So we went with Matej to another town where the buses run more often! Apparently!
We then sat there waiting until 7.30 waiting for our bus. We started waiting at 4pm. The bus ride was great despite the wait. It was with a bus company called Student Buses or something and it had free coffee and newspapers to read and they even played us a move! So it all ended well.
That night we went out with Matej for dinner to have some typical Czech food. It was consisted of a kind of goulash and tasted great. After dinner we went back to our hostel to find out it was full and we had no beds. So we went out to the Cross bar for a while and then slept in the common room of the hostel. It was not very comfortable but it was better than nothing. The next morning Taz and Nick left for Spain! It was so sad to say good bye but it was great seeing them.
