I'm Bone to be Wild!
... digging up old bones, and legend has it that some blind monk??! Started arranging them into geometric shapes... but then later on František Rint was commissioned to decorate the inside of the church. There are chandeliers, coat of Arms, and pillars all made from human bones.. It's in some ways beautiful.. but when you think about it.. pretty disgusting!!!
However it was great to go and visit, because when else in my life am I ...
Kutna Hora
We had a bit of a leaisurely start to the morning and caught the 9am train out to Kutna Hora, about an hour away from Prague. The draw here is the bone church,, the Ossuary in Sedlic.

The church is ...
Oh the Hora!
... I arrived outside, after taking a picture of the outside of the church, this man who has just arrived with a lady I'm assuming is his wife, tells me that they had just followed me, assuming that I knew where I was going (it's a small town and there are only two sights near the trains station).
