After our walk through Doudleby Pavel still hadn't arrived so we decided to head on into Český Krumlov about 15 minutes away. Today is Saint Wenceslas'
feast day. He is the main patron saint of modern-day Czech Republic. It is also a public holiday - Czech Statehood Day - so there is a big festival in Český Krumlov this weekend to celebrate.
After walking around the outdoor market we made our way towards the castle. This castle has a different kind of a moat...a bear moat...bears have been kept in the moat since 1707.
As we were watching the bears a hot air balloon launched right over the castle, then another and another...a total of 6 balloons went up.
