You’ll not go back home and talk about Pension U Ceske Koruny; neither will you tell your friends that you stayed in a guesthouse that provided nothing except a bed for the night. But... I succeeded in snatching the double that looked over Valdstejnovo namesti and so back home, I had the chance to talk about Waldstein’s majestic chateau that stared at me whenever I looked out of the window.
