Czech your wallet
This little 'innocent' price list has been in Karlstejn for at least 3 years because I remember it from the time i first visited the place...
I'm surprised that nobody pointed out the ridiculousness of having the price written in letters!! for people who understand czech (therefore more or less locals). They probably did this in order not to make the 'foreign tourist price' seem like a rip off.
Well, guess what, it makes it look as twice as much the rip off, having that embarassing price list hung up there...
Oh and, btw, I took the czech version of the tour (i think they give out some english leaflets actually) and it wasn't much, almost not worth the STOPADESAT KORUN... sheesh!!!

That's crazy, I bet that the prices in the English menus in restaurants are a lot higher than those in the Czech menus :)
Usually they're not since the menus are 'subtitled' in english, but if you go to a touristy place they make sure to add 10% extra by default... and the touristy prices are well inflated too for everybody.
I just discovered your blog. Great post!
Thanks, I've just discovered your as well. I'm really happy too see you're so young at heart and so hungry for new experiences! Congratulations!
