Crazy Cesky Krumlov

Today was our first day on Busabout and it was so awesome not having to lug all our luggage with us! After hopping off the bus we went to reception and met heaps of cool people on the busabout bus! Our tour guide was explaining to us all the things we could do in Cesky and one of them was a tame version of white water rafting so we got a group together, got into our rafting gear, organised all the necessary equipment (mainly booze) and we were ready to set sail!

So imagine 5 girls all dolled up with their champagnes and snacks trying to paddle down the river! We were so retarded and could not keep the boat straight but in the end we finally got our rythym flowing! We stopped at this bar by the river which was so cute. It was like being back on school camp with a log fire and sausages sizzling and there was not a person to be seen in site! Loved it! The scenery was absolutely stunning. There were these giant, green pine trees and the water was so blue and we saw deer running in the mountains too!

Anyway then we got back on the river and it was hillarious, one of the other boats of new people we met on the Busabout bus were floating down the river and there was a rope hanging from the bridge and three of the people tried to grab onto it and flew out of their raft into the water! I have never seen anyone walk on water, but this girl seriously ran across the water back into her boat! It must have been so cold and the people in her raft were laughing at her so much that they could not go back to get her and so another raft had to go in for the rescue!

It was an awesome day and a really good way to meet new people off Busabout so that we would know them in future passings when we hop on the bus again! Lily certainly took the award for biggest laugh of the day award! We moored our rafts by the side of the river and the lid of the bucket was floating down stream and she ran to get it and I don't know what happened but she must have tripped on her thong and fell into the river with as much grace as a swan! One of the boys had to go in and rescue her! It truly was a strong bonding experience! I love Cesky!!!!
