Monday 23 June Prague

We caught a suburban Metro train to the main station, then a regional train to the town of Kutna Hora. It is famous for its small church known by tourists as the Bone Church. This was established in 11th century, and periodically rebuilt after wars etc, finally in 1870. It is decorated with human bones - thousands and thousands of them.


It is quite macabre. They say it is to remind people that death is not the end.



We walked into the city, but without a map took a wrong turn, and it took us ages to find the way. My feet were very sore from blisters acquired yesterday. We found a sidewalk cafe for lunch, then went to the tourist office and at last got a map. We walked around the town some more,


found St Barbara's cathedral, then caught the local Connex bus back to the station.


Tonight we will eat in the hostel restaurant.
