[ May 2017 ] It was Monday on the second day of our stay in Telč in Czech Republic which is a World Heritage town.
Most of the tourist attractions were closed.
We went up to the castle to be sure and found that it was not only closed but also under some construction work.
Apparently they were restoring the gate there.
And we found that the St. James Church next door was closed not only on Mondays but most of the days.
It is open only Saturdays and Sundays in May.
We read that you can climb up the tower here and I can imagine that you could see the lovely view of the square from there.
I regretted that we did not prepare well enough.
Anyway, it was a fine day, so we enjoyed walking and taking photos of the square and the park and then we went to the tourist information office just to see if they could suggest something.
A pleasant man gave us a very good leaflet and told us that there were two museums open on Mondays.
One of them was outside of the old town, but the other one was on the square.
It was called Telčský dům and probably it means The House of Telč.
As the information officer said, the exhibits were mainly for children, but we could see the interior of this Renaissance building. 
The main feature was the huge underground storage where they stored foods, beer and wine.
There used to be a well here, too.
The underground area was connected with other houses so that when the enemy attacked they moved around underground.
On the ground floor, we saw some cartoons of the old tales of Telč on the wall.
The pattern of the ceiling was beautiful.
The upper floors were not so special, though.
We saw some model railways there.
After the museum we went to a souvenir shop.
They were selling small model houses of the square and we bought three of them.
One of them was the house No.61, which was outstanding in the square.
According to the leaflet we got at the information office, this house belonged to Michal, the baker.
Apparently he was planning to run for mayor and tried to make his house the most beautiful one in the town and completed in 1555.
The wall which was inspired by the Venetian Renaissance was gorgeous.
I do not know if Michal was elected as a mayor or not.
Now it was the lunch time and we tried the restaurant within the hotel just next to the castle, which was recommended by the internet site, but maybe because they just had the tourist group entered there, the staff there was not very friendly, so we got out.
And we had a mediocre chicken lunch at a mediocre restaurant on the square and then went to catch the 2 pm bus to Brno.
The bus came very late.
It was a yellow bus which was different from the one we took to come here.
I think the company was the same one as the train we took in Slovakia last year.
The space of the carrier was very small, but there was a screen in front of every seat like an airplane and they served coffee free of charge.
