Hřensk o is the town that we set off from. A tiny little touristy town which caters for all the German tourists. You can buy anything from a jesus statue to bras & underwear in the Vietnamese stalls that line the main thoroughfare.

I need to steal some photos from my friends as I never have any photos with me in them!

... the scenes but know all and manage all and are the real bosses.

Upon arrival at our hotel in Prague, we got a free basket of fruit. Most of it was not ripe so we ate a couple of pieces and left the rest to ripen and have in a day or so. When we came back to the hotel after our first day out and about, our fruit was gone. At 6:20 P.M. we called guest services and ...

... seeing this, not a holiday tour, but important to remember what our history shows about us "humans". A settlement of 5,000 became 50,000; it is also called the Ghetto in the township area. The cells, how could you describe the absolute disgust of the inhumane treatment? Cells that were designed for 50 had 200, with 2 toilets, the beds if they were lucky enough to have them, were 3 levels high. No running water ...

... one of the tombs. it was his hand with a smiley face (i sent PJ to check it out). He giggled as he drew it and observed his art for several minutes and then walked away. I have no idea why he was so fascinating to me but he was. I laughed for several minutes :) Then it was the tourist bus to St. Barbara's Cathedral. Once we found the entrance to the church we paid the entrance fee and walked into one of the most beautiful and intricate churches i ...

... 30,000 were buried. So the blind church caretaker decided to utilize these bones as decorations. He stacked the bones (mainly femurs and skulls) without using glue or nails into 4 chapels. Supposedly there are remains from at least 40,000 people in the ossuary. I think there were a disaporportionate number of femurs in the ...

A cool thing, maybe not for the light hearted but this trip wasn't for those people anyway, is to make a day trip to the small city of Kutna Hora. Don't remember what the made there, but there was a special smell to the place. Then you go to a chuch and ...

... life, basically the 'elixir of youth'...it was also devoted to metallurgy (?), trying to turn base metals into gold)...all VERY confusing but quite engrossing. The guide took us around personally and showed us this amazing room, where one of the early alchemists, a prince whose name escapes me, may have practised his art/trade/science/whatever you might call it. The ceiling was carved, painted stone, in a dome shape and had no joins whatsoever...to this day they have no ...

... only doing collections - aaaarrrrgggghhhh. Walked back to main square, watched a few weddings and went to train station. Train was late by 30m, turning into 50m by Poland. Fell asleep straight away on train with 6 other people in carriage. Woke up twitching violently shouting, apologised so god knows what they thought. Sent Conrad a text to get a message to Magda I was going to be late, Rob then had to go back to ...

... route. Maybe if we had learned to read more Czech than hello, goodbye, and thank-you, we could have found an easier way. Once in Kutna Hora, we checked out the bizarre attractions whose guidebook descriptions lured us here, including an alchemy museum staffed by an eccentric mad-scientist-type curator, and an ossuary decorated with thousands of human bones. Check out the photos!

... singing fountain, colonnade & cross spring). Nowadays the hotel also offers a medical spa. The spa didn't exist during my stays, but without putting this hotel down I don't think it's spa will compare to those of the big luxury hotels in the city center. This is not to say that the services won't be good. I just like you to think of this hotel as a budget option and you might ...
