Got a spare part?

Kutna Hora Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

I'm taking my wanderlust to a new level by shedding everything familiar and safe and hitting the road with a one way ticket and lots of guts. I start in Ireland, with planned stops in E. Europe before arriving in Egypt, then onto Tanzania for a Mt. Kili climb/safari before arriving in Zanzibar. From there, S. Africa, India, SE Asia, Australia/NZ, and eventually S. America. Afterward skidding home on fumes of glory, whereupon I will quickly be couch-surfing until I can land on my feet again.

Got a spare part?

Coat of arms (or bones)

After yet another fantastically crazy bus ride back to Prague (they over sell seats and folks were packed in the aisles standing for two hours!), we made our way to Kutna Hora, the town famous for its bone church, or Ossuary.  About 40,000 folks decorate that place.  I couldn't stop taking pictures!  Bizarre.  I can't decide if cremation is better or lending yourself to art, but it's not something I wanted to ponder too long.

Kutna Hora itself is a pretty town but very quiet.  Lots of churchs to be sure.  We stuck around just two nights to check out the bone church and chill, but we long for Cesky Krumlov yet.

We just arrived back in Prague today for another five nights before Rob takes off and I am solo again.  Time to find an Eastern Europe guidebook I think!

Oooh, I think this is where Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman stopped on their Long Way Round trip.
:D

Seriously disturbing pics, well done. I wonder what exactly is worshipped in a house of bones?
