Day 9 - Kutna Hora and the bone church
This morning I begun the day with a big punter full of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and currants! My favourite are raspberries and coincidentally in Czech they are called "malina". After breakfast we got ready and rushed to old town square where we were to meet our tour guide to head to Kutna Hora. On the way we rushed along from the top of the square, along the way stopping because I had to get a new scarfe and beanie I saw yesterday :p. ...

The ossuary is unlike anything I've ever seen. In the year 1278, the abbot of the Roman Catholic Cistercian Monastery went to the Holy Land and returned to Sedlec with a jar of dirt he'd gathered on Golgotha Hill where Jesus was crucified. He scattered the dirt around the cemetary ...

While we had been dealing with ...
Day 12 - Podebrady ... and new friends!
... back to our apartment in Prague.
This marks the third time that our kids have asked, "Will we ever see them again Momma?" ... after making new friends. ... Its a hard thing to meet such wonderful people, and then be half way across the world.
Oh. And tonight only, thanks to Mr Energy Tea Man, I will attempt to put grin inducing witty comments on our photos. (er, done just now, not that witty or funny actually. doh!)
Thank you Ivan and Jana! Thank you Podebrady! We love ...
