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!
... peach, a dry orange, and the rest is still not ripe and waiting for a day when we might be able to sink our teeth into the skin.
Housekeeping wasn’t finished with us. The next day one of our robes disappeared. We haven’t called to ask for it back because no telling how they will return it. We have learned our lesson. Don’t mess with housekeeping.
... reason for this being that as a ''charity'' the church can't legally charge admission fees, but once the building is undergoing 'reconstruction' - it's ok to charge as a means of raising revenue... who knows...
but the main tourist attraction is a little chapel on the edge of the town, composed of the remains (bones) of over 40,000 patrons the Kosnice Ossuary. So ...
... on with nothing to look at, I listened intently, trying to pick up even one word's meaning from what she said. I was unsuccessful. The tour through the long-forgotten mine (rediscovered in the past half-century), however, made up for the packet & the long discourses in an unintelligible language. The tour consists of a walk in the former mine through narrow, low passageways with dripping ceilings and really ...
Kutnį Hora, Bohemia, Czech Republic ataritouchme... the miners themselves was both physically dangerous and the dust and noxious air killed most of them prematurely. Most of the “winch power“came from horses, and at one stage there were hundreds of them living underground in the tunnels, hooked up to big wheels which would pull the extracted rock to the surface. Near Kutna Hora there is also a bizarre church which used to be part of a monastery. A local nobleman ...
Kutna Hora, Bohemia, Czech Republic roamingmonk... amazing pictures that I was expecting to capture was quite the opposite. The haze filled my lense and I was getting nothing but frustrated. I was happy to take a picture of how Prague really is. I hung out in the evening took some amazing night shots of this beatuiful city and prepared to make my move the next day. I was off to the little town of Českż Krumlov in the Czech Republic and I had no idea what a week it would be....................
Kutna Hora, Bohemia, Czech Republic mike81... We speak no Czech, so we ordered from the menu simply by guessing and pointing. We ended up with chicken filled with ham and cheese. Not too bad concidering we ordered more than blindly. It was a true adventure! We took the train back and attended a organ concert at St. Nicholas Cathedral. Motzart is said to have played to organ there. The concert was beautiful, as was the lightening through the windows.
Kutna Hora, Bohemia, Czech Republic marneyandpaul... A little road with tiny houses where first the soldiers and then the goldsmiths of the palace used to live. Of course, in No 22 is also where Kafka lived for a while and they sell in there a number of books, diaries and all sorts of things with his name on. At the end of the lane, we arrived at the corner tower of the castle which was - of course - a prison. They still have in there some instruments of torture etc but it was suprisingly - and welcoming - short to visit.
Kutna Hora, Czech Republic perl... Predictably, the next train turns out late - by 25 minutes this time! The only plus is that the conductor doesn't check our tickets until a while after Kutnį Hora, so at least we don't have to pay extra for the additional, accidental leg. Even so, we don't get back into Prague until 6:30pm, which pretty much blows our daylight hours. Blah. . . Perhaps not so surprisingly, I'm kind of looking forward to getting back to efficient, timely Deutschland!
Kutna Hora, Czech Republic xerius... Its a very strange and macabre place, but it sounded too interesting to pass up. The town also had a few other sights, so we walked around and came across an excellent view of the old city and also found a nice gothic cathedral with massive flying buttresses, Cathedral of St. Barbara. That night we all went with Rusty to "his girls" topless club, and, well...the girls, and particularly his girl, were pretty amazing. So amazing in fact that good ...
