Initially or time table was set back as I got the station outside of town mixed up with the main station and we too a scenic metro ride around the city. The town of Kutna Hora is very small and pretty and had a couple sites that put it on the UNESCO list (houses, gothic cathedral, etc). We went to the bone ossuary where at least 40,000 human remains are stored in various artistic approaches and then to the cathedral in town which was HUGE. St. Barbara's' church had many beautiful stained glass windows as well as ancient frescos from the middle ages. We had to skip the silver mine museum and mine tour as we went to drink beer instead at a little restaurant that had great food for a reasonable price. We have many great photos that will be up when we get the faster Intertubes again. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is in Prague as it provides a view into the smaller less metropolitan side of the Czech Republic.

After we finished with the town we got back on the train and met Erin and Kenny from Hawaii. They are a nice couple that have been traveling across Europe for the last 2.5 months and are on their final week. I guess going to back to Hawaii is probably not the worst thing that could happen to you. We bought some beers from the store and sat with the at the top of Wencelas square in the New Town of Prague and drank them while people watching. It was a lot of fun.
Tomorrow is more Prague touring. I think we might go to the big park and take photos of the Eiffel Tower they have there to add to Rea's series. Maybe hit the bobsled slide if weather and funding permits. I would like to go to the Terezin concentration camp that is north of the city but I don't think we have time for it.
