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!

Most hotels will have a courtesy late check out time but they don't really tell you about it. You have to ask if you can stay an hour later or ½ hour or whatever. The last several times I have asked for this courtesy, I’ve been told, "We have to ask housekeeping". Wow, who knew that housekeeping runs the hotels these days? They are just like secretaries apparently ...

... like the chandelier of the salt mines of Warsaw are completey composed of salt, these are composed of human bones... Macabre and little errie, perhaps at time a little too convincing that it doesn't seem to be real... but that is alot of bones. There are four pyramids, one in each corner, composed of skulls and limbs and each pile is a free form (ie/ it's not held together by anything)...

... patrol as we entered the Czech Republic and waited while they checked our passports and those irritating car papers. All fine so onward to Kutna Hora. We arrived at our hotel where they had some difficulty finding our booking (we didn't book through our usual website) but found us a nice room. We strolled up into the old town with our trusty map and found it to be fairly ...

... day train, as the sleeper takes a much longer time and is probably the most innacurately named train I have ever experienced. We travelled from Krakow and were kept awake by hard drinking student/backpacker types on thier way to Prague, getting ****** and having the time of thier lives (bless em) until about 3 in the morning. I'm sure these kids are very nice to their parents.... but I was just about ready to dismember them and poke ...

... pillars and even the Coast of Arms. On all 4 corners of the church were pyramids roughly about 10 feet high. The pile of bones were quite incredible. He had written words on the walls and hung garlands of bones throughout the entire church. It was quite impressive. After the hour tour of the bone church I headed over to the Silver Mine. I wanted to take the tour even though I knew the cost was not going to be worth it. We all put on Helmets ...

... But, I suppose most people in their right mind don't come to small-town Bohemia in early February. So it was to this same ossuary that we made our first stop. Prices have gone up considerably, so Mayu decided that I alone would pay the additional charge for taking photos. I made sure to take a shedload with that in mind. The small chapel was packed to the gills from a Russian tour group when we first arrived, but the crowds cleared out ...

... had left me quite unscathed. After five or ten minutes double checking that brakes were working properly and such like, I set off again, making a mental note that braking for roundabouts is a Good Idea. I found the Ossuary, which was a very strange place. The grounds around the chapel were graveyards for many years, but for some reason they had to reduce their size and therefore exhume a lot of bodies. For a while there were huge piles of bones around the chapel ...

... 371; vietų visoj Čekijoj. Apvaziavom visas vietas pazymėtas visuose zemėlapiukuose, tačiau laisvos vietos vis tiek niekur neradom. Sugaisom tam geras porą valandų, tačiau rezultato jokio. Jau temo, o mes be vietos nakvynei ir dar alkani. Kadangi vėliau vakare zinojom, kad net valgyt negausim, nusprendėm, kad jei nerandam kur nakvot, tai bent pavalgykim, kad nebūtų abiejų ...

... Czech Republic is famous for their Pilzen beer. Give it a try and if you like it then you just discovered yourself a budget "drink" option as beer is often cheaper than a coke or a cup of coffee. Etiquette This might sound strange, but it's considered rude if you hold the door for a woman. A gentleman in the Czech Republic is supposed to first check the place out to make sure it's ...
