Had to drag myself out of the bed to see the Sunrise at the Charles Bridge .Tough it was a bit of a disappointment becs of the cloudy weather the old town square and the Karluv most had very few people in it so it was a bit of a treat to have the place to myself.
Kutna Hora
Kutna Hora
Only Ossuary probably in the world to have the interior of the church decorated entirely of human bones .30,000 Human skull to honour the dead .Getting there meant me catching a train but i taught i could see the pissing statue and then get to the station , But in the process got lost terribly.So in the end travelled ticketless on 2 trams to Malostraska quick change at Muzeum arrived at Hlavni Nadazi (prounce it however u want)
Long Escalators on Prague Metro
10 :47 Am still running in the station to catch the train .I was praying that there would be no one at the counter ,by luck there was no one 171 Kc return and dashed of to the platform like a sprinter. Well all the jogging practice has come in handy now.
10:52 am on the train which i think is going there and 10:54 train departs Just in time again !!!!!
Got off met some random tourists who turned out to be really nice Americans on their year out.The Ossuary is called The Church of Bones
This is perfect example of when thy say Don't judge the book by its cover!!!.It looks like a perfectly Quent little church just as any but BUT the devil is certainly in the details .
Human bones can be used for decorations
Crest
This town was virtually wiped out because of plague which had about 30000 human bodies .When a half blind priest came up with the idea of decorating this church with Human bones joined together only with human bones!!!

Dancing Building
Absinth
Let me tell u this Absinth well i have never tasted such a vile stuff in my like .Ever with 2 Sachets of sugar it felt like i was burning my entire Intestine!!!!.Its banned every where in europe but legal in CZ (well the LSD content decides that) have to check this claim tough !!
Next day i woke early after the guy who was sleeping in the lower dorm was snoring like an elephant.
Visited the Tyn church , Astronomical clock went on top of the tower to get superb views of this wonderful city .All this time i am wondering all these years of communism there is one good thing that has come out of it .
They have preserved their unique artchieture , Quent houses and excellent hospitality to welcome people with open arms .
Altough now run down from large scale capitalism and Mac's its still a beautiful place to visit.
Next stop was the Castle hill and a St Vitnus Church which again was like a jewel in the crown very impressive sphires and the hills give u a great view of the city below
Looks like disney land (very magical and very nice)
My Time in Czech Republic was coming to an end
I had been in this country only few days but it had given me a taste of Eastern europe which i might or might not visit in the future.And certainly make me want to go there !!!!
Got on a Metro without tickets to get to my hostel to get on the train to Vienna(Wien).Dont ask me y i didnt buy a ticket call this stupidity or anything else i had laid my hands on 50 kronas and thats all i had so didnt want to waste on buying ticket on my last journey !!!!

Impressed is the least degree of adjective i can use to describe this place .I was amazed as to what a human bones can do when they are stacked up together!!
After this amazing tour walked around for a bit with some polish girls i found and saw some more beautiful church . Had to sadly leave the company of these lovely girls to catch the next train.This was another JIT story but i wont bore u with details but here is the brief run down
It happened becs i went to the Kutna hora city station rather than the main one where no one could speak english .But managed to get the ticket to get there so no problem
