A Week in the Czech Countryside

Taking advantage of a friend's generous offer to stay in her country house, we spent a week in a Czech village in Southern Bohemia (80 km from the Czech capital, Prague). This was no ordinary country house. It was reconstructed from a schoolhouse built in 1905. Tasteful yet quirky, it recalls an Austro-Hungarian hunting lodge outfitted from long-lost toy trunks and curio cabinets. Take a look for yourself and you'll understand why we didn't want to leave! © www.uncorneredmarket.com

Doll, Frog and Mushroom - Bohemia, Czech Republic
Just a typical bedroom scene from our friend's country house in a village in Southern Bohemia, Czech Republic. The broader story: the frog phone was cursed, causing the internet to malfunction in the house. Once it was unplugged, the curse was lifted and wifi internet was enjoyed by all. © www.uncorneredmarket.com

Village Gas Tank - Bohemia, Czech Republic
Each farmer in the village seemed to have his own key to access this pump to fill up his tractor. We assume they pay at the end of each month, but that's for the village to work out. Taken in a village in Southern Bohemia, Czech Republic. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
