Hello, still "czeching" out Prague! Hahaha, I know I'm a nerd. I decided to stay an extra day, I have met some really cool people to hang out with. Four of them are from Australia and there is one American, who seems to be quite ashamed he is American, it's pretty funny. I did another bike tour which I really recommend to everyone when they get into a city, it's a great way to know the place and to get further than you would on foot. The tour guide gave us some really good suggestions for cheap places to eat and things to see. So yesterday, we went into Kunta Hora, which is this small town nearby, about an hour away. The highlight of the town is their church which is decorated in....human bones! The story goes that a lot of people wanted to be buried there because it was seen as a sacred land but they ran out of space so the priest at the time (maybe 1800's sometime) commissioned a carpenter to do something with the bones, so he decided to decorate the church crypt with them. Included are a chandelier, 4 pyramid type structures, a coat of arms of the wealthiest family in the city and the artists signature all made out of bones. Very weird and creepy.
Today we are just going to walk around the city somewhere, see where we end up and maybe catch the sunset from a beer garden we have been suggested to see. Tomorrow I leave for Cesky Kremlov which is about 3 hours away and then to Vienna and Salzburg. Good times good tiems!
Hope everyone is doing well, I can't believe 2 weeks have flown by already. Oh, and I have another mysterious rash, this time on my arms....woe is me :)
