Kutná Hora excursion.

After far too little sleep in a way too hot hotel room, we woke up early to head out to Kutna Hora to visit the bone church. We had been told it was a church constructed entirely of bones from dead bodies exhumed from the cemetery, so it sounded like a pretty awesomely creepy place.


The trip took approximately an hour by bus, and while Anita got our tickets, we waited around outside. The church isn't in the central part of town, but rather more on the outskirts, so there wasn't much around aside from a couple convenience stores and a crystal shop.

We got our tickets and went into the Ossuary which was part awesome and part disappointing. I had expected a church made of bones, but it was just a church decorated with lots of bones. While many of the designs were cool (bone chandelier), most of it was a bit kitschy for my taste, and not as spooky as I'd thought it would be.

After spending about five or 10 minutes in the church, I'd seen everything, so we went across the street for some ice cream and sat in the sun until everyone was done. Then we headed to the downtown area, first to the St. Barbara Church (which was, admittedly, kind of boring) and then just walking around the cute but deserted downtown. While we were searching for a place to eat, I ended up making a couple kitty friends: my first and only in Europe.

We settled on a Tex-Mex esque place which was an extremely awesome and unique find, and had their version of enchiladas and quesadillas (different, but still relatively delicious, and cheap). That was followed up by mojito ice cream, and then a walk back to the bus to head back into Prague and decide on our plans for our last night there.
