Paul and Judy are from Adelaide, South Australia. After many hot antipodean Christmases they enjoyed Christmas in Europe in 2012 and 2015 (see the archived blog entries). After getting their ears, nose and fingers cold it's time to experience some of Europe in the Spring. This trip takes them to some "old favourites" as well as many new places.

Arriving at Cesky Krumlov
Yesterday we left a cold Vienna as snow fell and drove through fog and snow covered fields into the Czech Republic. As we neared our Christmas stopover town we left the snow and reached an area having unusually mild conditions for this time of the year (8 deg) so unfortunately no snow for Christmas. The town is in a valley inside a tight loop in the Moldau River and is just beautiful with the old castle perched on the hill above the town. Last night we joined the town folk watching a "live Bethlehem" performance of the Nativity story told through local folk songs and carols. It was a delightful experience.
