Opat Kutna Hora

... then went out for a beer or so and some food in Prague, near the beautiful Charles Bridge, which I finally checked out, and took tons more pictures.<br><br>After dinner and drinks I came back home with Madlenka, and here I am, super pooped out and trying to catch up with all of my pictures and videos...<br><br>That's about it for now! I think I'll go walking around town for a bit tomorrow with Casey, one of the girls I've met from the course.<br><br>Word..<br>

A late start at 11. I am starving with my need for breakfast. We opt for sausage on the run to the train station for our day trip to Kutna Hora. It is excellent with a choice of 5 types. <br><br>Kutna Hora is a Unesco town, 1 hour by train from Prague. A nice day trip. The first stop, a 15 minute walk from the station, is a Cathedral, the oldest Baroque one in Europe. It has recently completed a very long restoration. The highlight though, was the Sedlec ...

... stone bridge with views across the country. Once again the trip getting there and back was just as interesting as being there. Amazing, beautiful countryside. The hike up the mountain was fun &#8211; about 1.5hours to get up. When we got to the top the views were magnificent. My pictures really don't do justice to the views or the landscape:<br><br>http://www.facebook.c om/album ...

... called again and said the fruit would be delivered between now and 11 P.M. if that was alright. The fruit was delivered at 10:20 P.M. Since we had asked to get it back because we wanted some fruit, I looked in the basket to see if I could eat something then. Someone in housekeeping must have gotten in trouble for taking our fruit but they got even. They brought us a ...

I hopped on a train this morning and went out to Kutna Hora. It was a cute little village, which was a breath of fresh air after being in the streets of Prague, which are crawling with tourists. I saw the oldest Cathedral in the Czech Republic, a chrurch decorated with the bones of an estimated 40,000 skeletons, and a lot of other neat little things on the street. I ate ...

... part of the church in the most morbid and interesting way... and of course all in the name of the lord. I have taken photo's, and I also have some literature, so I will update this entry as soon as I have access to a computer with which I can upload my photo's. I will also give a slightly more accurate and factual account of the history of the church. Danny and I enjoyed visiting the church immensly, and the people of Kutna ...

... the crowd. People would sprint to the clock just to see these little people dance. The crowd would grow from about 10 people gazing at the structure to about 1000. The street was full and you can't move. Lucky for me, my hotel was right in front of the damn thing so getting in and out of the building was close to impossible on the hours. I found myself tring to get ready quick just to by pass the crowds. The tourists were driving me a ...

Kutna Hora was an interesting day trip. The town itself was unimpressive, especially the mining museum. Quaint and nice, but nothing overly special (I'd encourage tourists to venture into Moravia or Western Bohemia instead of visiting Kutna Hora itself). The Church of St. Barbara looked magnificent from the outside, but we could not go in because a ...

... There's no indication of its destination anywhere on the exterior, but its the right platform so clearly it had to be ours. Hopping on board with the rest of the crowd on the platform, we settled in for the return trip. That is, until we came to the first stop - a station called &#268;aclav that I didn't recall from the way in. On top of that, the sun was over to our right, which didn't make sense since it was the afternoon and we should be ...

We took a day trip to the city of Kutna Hora. This is a small town one hour east of Prague. Kutna Hora is know for two main things. The silver mines, were closed when we were there, and Ossuary Sedlec. The Ossuary Sedlec holds a graveyard chapel ...
