Most of the inside of this building was gold, very elegant and old.

The Jewish Cemetery in Prague
The cemetery was amazing, with the gravestones from the 10th Century. Over the years they have all become tilted and on lots of random angles, it was really cool. If you want to see more photos of the Jewish Cemetery, click the link below and then click the yellow button ‘View Slideshow’.
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.

Karen and Dre with Prague in the background
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.
Dre with the river
This is one of Pragues main bridges, but not the famous Charles Bridge. The river was so lovely to walk along and the days have been very hot and sunny.
A cool building in Prague Castle
This was a huge ballroom from back in the day. You could definitely have had a massive party in here! The ceiling was so cool and there were so many chandeliers that they didn’t keep all of them lit permanently.
Karen and the view from the top
We climbed the 287 steps on a hot day, yes, that is a sweaty forehead you can see! But the view was definitely worth it. This is the top of Prague Castle, looking down on Prague and the river.
Stained glass window in Prague Castle
Inside Prague Castle was some of the most intricate and colourful stained glass windows we had ever seen. Each window had different bright colours, and the frame was a different shape too.
An intricately decorated building at Prague Castle
This was one of the many impressive buildings in Prague Castle, a large complex comprising of many buildings. The photo really doesn’t do it justice, it was very cool.
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.
