The adventures of the Brummers

Bone Church in Kutna Hora

This place was cool.  The entire church was full of bones, around 40,000 people in total.  Apparently people just started to want to be buried there, and it became a normal thing for everyone in the town to do.  After around 30,000 people’s skeletons were in here, they started to restrict it to wealthy families.  The 15 most important people of the time are buried under the floor, everyone else is stacked up in huge bone pyramids, or hung in chandaliers from the ceiling.  If you want to see more photos of the bone church, click the link below, and then click on the yellow button ‘View Slideshow’.

We took this from up the top near Prague Castle.  The view really is amazing.  Our time in Prague has consisted of walking pretty much non-stop, we rushed to see sights before Anita and Sean got here, and then they joined us at midday on our second day.  We then spent the rest of that day and all of the next day visiting sights around Prague.

Old Town Square

This is the main square that is very close to our apartment, which we walk through to get almost anywhere else in Prague.  It has the astronimical clock that chimes each hour with the 12 apolstles coming to the window in the clock.  Maybe a bit over-rated but still a nice square.
