Another Day, Another Adventure!

Today we took our first trip out of the city of Prague, seeing more parts of the Czech Republic. Six of us total went took the hour train ride to Kutna Hora to see the small town that boasts one main thing...the Ossuary. It's a church that has these crazy decorations...bones...human bones. Yes, you read right. We also saw a cathedral there and had a yummy lunch.

It started as an early morning...waking up at 6 to meet our friends at 7:30 at the train station...so you know I was pooped. The weather wasn't too friendly, cloudy and freezing cold...but we didn't let that affect us.

I was quite excited to take my first train ride. I wanted to do that when I was in Lithuania but we didn't, so I was happy to have my first train experience. The round-trip ticket costed us a little less than $7 (US dollars) so that was pretty amazing!

Once arriving in Kutna Hora, we walked to Ossuary (the bone church) to see what all the hype was about. Apparently, back in the day during the plague, bodies were just piling up near this church. When the church was closed or something, this family bought the land and hired this man to do something useful with all the bones...it's quite crazy. Take a look for yourself.

As you can see, it is quite crazy. It's actually very creepy to think about the fact that these were real people once. Really insane to think about.

After the Ossuary, we headed up to a cathedral that was under major renovation. What we saw was still very pretty though.

So that was our day outside of Prague. It was very nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Prague and see some other sites around.
