Adventures in the
Czech Republic

Rachel and Jonathan,
August 17-29, 2005.

Prague Ceske Krumlov West Bohemia


Ceske Krumlov has canoe and raft rental. For next to nothing, you can spend as long as 8 hours on the Vlatava River, then be picked up and taken back to town. We chose the 4 hour, 35 kilometer option and this yellow plastic canoe. (Photo/Sketch: Jonathan)


A blue raft of Czech girls was either in front of us or behind us throughout our paddle downstream. They had a good laugh no matter what was happening, and were often stuck in shallow water. (Photo/Sketch: Rachel)


The boating day was Jonathan's favorite of the whole trip. (Photo/Sketch: Rachel)

Wildflowers like these grew all along the stretch of Vlatava River where we canoed. (Photo/Sketch: Jonathan)
