We started today out by getting an earlier start so that we could go to Kutna Hora to see the Bone Chapel. We took the metro to the train station and purchased a two way ticket for an express train to get there. Once there, we purchased a ticket for the Bone Chapel. We paid for a ticket for three attractions: the Cathedral of Assumption of our Lady and Saint John the Baptist, the Sedlec Ossuary (Bone Chapel) and the Cathedral of St Barbara. The Bone Chapel was very different from anything else we’d seen in Europe. It was a Chapel that was decorated with bones. There were piles of bones neatly arranged in a few places. There were also other decorations such as a bone chandelier. After that, we ate lunch at a place in the city center, and stopped at a bar to have a couple beers. We had to rush to catch the local train to catch our train home, we hoped to catch the 6 pm puppet show. When we got there, we found out that there weren’t any shows on Wednesdays. We stopped at our hostel, the Pension Tara, for a bit. There was a top rated beer bar that I wanted to go to, and Linda found a nice restaurant half way down the tram route there. At dinner, I ordered trout, Linda had potato pancakes with smoked meat. The trout was a whole fish, head, bones and all. I also ordered a Budweiser to drink, which was different, because here they had an option for a dark bud, which I had. It wasn’t too bad. We continued on our tram route to the bar. We ordered a couple beers, I talked to a local couple for a bit. The bar was Zig Casy, the restaurant was Pod Slavinem. We hung out at the bar for a few hours trying small (.3L) beers so that we could have more variety, then we took the tram home. I’m looking forward to taking the train to Germany tomorrow, because I want to tour/see the BMW Headquarters, and more importantly, I want to go to Oktoberfest. Prost!
Going on and on
