Kutna Hora

Oh, and a day trip to Kutna Hora, with an incredible church (St Barbera) and an ossuary (also incredible in its own way).
A rather unusual bone artwork in the ossuary. Not really to Mary's liking but not sinister as the bones were from people who had died through plague rather than anything horrid. The list of Jews killed in the synagogues had more impact emotionally. We’ve had such a great time here. There’s such a nice feel to this place, it’s busy but human, the weather is warm and generally fine and its light till late. People (I guess many of them are tourists though) are out and enjoying themselves in the bars and cafes or just hanging out in the squares. Lots of buskers and informal music going on. It’s been great.
